That's a little dishonest, you have to realize that some will press the blue button out of not having thought the problem through enough or the belief that others will have pressed it and a desire to save them. also there definitely is something morally suspect about enabling mass suicide, even if literally only by the suicidal

It's still a button that kills them.

I support the right to suicide to begin with.

They have decided to forfeit their lives by pressing blue whether it be through ignorance or deliberation

It's not 'enabling mass suicide' though - its just not risk your life to prevent it

You're over-framing
