Suicide Prohibition: The Shame of MedicineIn Western thought, suicide has evolved from sin to sin and crime, to crime, to mental illness, and to semilegal act.

In Western thought, suicide has evolved from sin to sin-and-crime, to crime, to mental illness, and to semilegal act. A legal act is one we are free to think and speak about and plan and perform, without penalty by agents of the state.
While dying voluntarily is ostensibly legal, suicide attempts and even suicidal thoughts are routinely punished by incarceration in a psychiatric institution. Although many people believe the prevention of suicide is one of the duties the modern state owes its citizens, Szasz argues that suicide is a basic human right and that the lengths to which the medical industry goes to prevent it represent a deprivation of that right. Drawing on his general theory of the myth of mental illness, Szasz makes a compelling case that the voluntary termination of one's own life is the result of a decision, not a disease. He presents an in-depth examination and critique of contemporary antisuicide policies, which are based on the notion that voluntary death is a mental health problem, and systematically lays out the dehumanizing consequences of psychiatrizing suicide prevention. If suicide be deemed a problem, it is not a medical problem. Managing it as if it were a disease, or the result of a disease, will succeed only in debasing medicine and corrupting the law. Pretending to be the pride of medicine, psychiatry is its shame.Binding Type: Hardcover

Too small
Much smaller than it appeared to me in the picture. I did not read the length as I should. I would not have bought it if I saw it before purchasing. My 18 month old grandson now has a new toy.

Very convenient, soft, comfortable and does its job.
Size: 3 Pairs - Gray, Green, Pink
As a first responder being on your feet consistently in heavy boots really takes a toll.
I buy new soles for my boots and noticed the inconsistency balance from heel to toe which caused cracked and dry heels.
I was desperate to find an immediate solution and saw these.
Received all the socks individually wrapped, I am a size 5 1/2 to 6 in women’s shoes and they fit so snuggly. They are convenient, they fit under my work socks due to them only covering a portion of the foot and heel, the inside where the heel is a soft rubber material that helps keeps it in place, as well as if you use ointment or oils. The socks are soft and very comfortable that at the end of the day you forget you are wearing them.
They are also washable both in the washer or hand washed and it doesn’t affect the rubber material.
Highly recommend especially after a foot spa day.

Perfect!
Size: 3 Pairs - Gray, Green, Pink
When my heel skin started cracking, I of course found the internet hacks that went along the lines of put some moisturizing something (cream, Vaseline) on your feet and put socks on and go to sleep. Somehow many issues. While putting on the socks, I already wiped off the moisturizer. It feels terrible. My sleeping self hates socks apparently! I always kick them off, the socks are covered in moisturizer, and it’s all over my blanket. Yuck!
So when I found these socks I was unsure but willing to try. These are exactly what I needed! They have this gel-y coating inside that does not absorb the moisturizer, so it actually gets absorbed into your skin. They are snug without cutting off circulation, and along with kerasal, my heels are being healed! Could not recommend enough.
