responding to any situation by wishing for death or feeling that life isnt worth living betrays that a person has been seriously mentally and emotionally wounded, and does not have a life with connection, worth, and meaning. these are problems far deeper than not liking your body
if someone is convinced that X drastic idea is their only chance at escaping a life not worth living, those who know better should help that person heal those other problems contributing to the hopelessness
not reaffirm their belief that they have no choice but to do X

you *never* have no choice but to do X. you also *never* have no choice but suicide. suicide is never the answer but neither is letting someone who is in so much pain and so desperate potentially destroy their health and their body. there are so many ways to improve and heal
