    Wait, now you're confusing me

    According to the article against anti-depressants in this same publication, pain and suffering are part of the human condition.

    If depression is actually a good thing, then maybe cancer is too?

    It's part of our natural condition, after all.

    So if it's okay to be clinically depressed, then it must also be okay to die in pain from cancer, right?

    This is such a confusing place.
