What is your position on suicide?

Question

obviously i am not asking if its good..because no onei n their right mind thinks its good..

but what i mean is do you find it jsutified under any circumstances??? or do you jsut feel its always wrong no matter what??

its a tough question because no one will every really understand how bad a person feels...

so i think it maybe difficult to call..

just askign your opinions..

Answer 1

I did it once. I stabbed myself so many times (and deep, too) that I bled out in the ambulance, and the paramedic actually started a transfusion from himself directly into me so that I wouldn't die which I did anyway. My wife (who was riding in the car with the State Trooper) actually heard them pronounce me dead over the radio.

Self-hatred is one h**l of a lonely road to travel in this life.

Answer 2

I think if you are over 40, which is technically enough time to know whether you are happy or not; if you honestly have no one in  your life; if you like yourself and aren't clinically depressed; if you have tried other options, OR you are terminally ill then sucicide is an individual decision.

There are just situations where it's too miserable and painful to be here.  

Answer 3

I know a little something about suicide... My brother and my cousin both hung themselves... It is truly sad. I think that people for the most part do it because of mental illness, Depression, not just being sad but, depressed to the point that they see no hope, have no hope and just cannot take it anymore...

I know this is not what is going on in every case. I

It is not right, but for the mentally ill, and you are ill if you want to kill yourself. It seems like a way to end to fight to be free from an absolute demon (depression.)

Some people just battle it, and battle it. I have over come depression. through a program and I know what it is like to deal with. I found help. Many people do not.

Answer 4

I honestly think that sometimes people think that they have no way out, it doesn't mean they actually don't have any other way out they just believe it with such intensity that it becomes true for them.  If I did not believe in a life after this one then I would probably have a more favorable outlook on suicide.  But I believe that your problems would still probably be there for you on the other side, plus having to watch all the people you hurt and all the other opportunities you had.

Answer 5

suicide is still murder, and murder is wrong and illegal.

however when it comes to men and women having to protect the secrets of their country (say, the USA), and the only way they can keep themselves from being tortured and eventually killed as a POW, then I say nobody can blame them if they decide to take their own life.

Answer 6

Wrong, always wrong. Usually do to an emotional disorder or a lack of people to lean on during a crisis.

Answer 7

Well, it really depends on the pain or feelings of the person in question. For example, if you had a terminal illness that cause massive amounts of pain, say cancer or AIDS, and someone offered you a quick death by overdose or something, that I'm all for. It's also what Dr. Kevorkian was imprisoned for...

But just straight-up, I-don't-wanna-live-anymore suicide? That's a tough one... As a multiple attemptee, I can honestly say it is one of the hardest decisions anybody could make, and one of the most selfish. But when it really comes down to it, if someone really really wants to take their own life, it's up to them and they get to answer (or not) to whomever they believe they'll see when they're dead. Is it right? I dunno, but I don't know that it's wrong either... Free will is a very tricky right-or-wrong subject

Answer 8

Wrong in what since? If they are christian? In the eyes of God? Please elaborate by what you mean wrong.

I think a person that commits suicide is truly a sick person ( I mean mentally)  Could you possibly imagine the despair a person must feel to actually take their own life? You would have to be truly sick in the mind and that is something we could not understand. I would think if you follow christian beliefs than yes, it is considered wrong. You ask if it is justified. Well I guess the one who commits it feels it is. When I believe that they are just sick.

Answer 9

Murder is "the unlawful killing of a human person with malice aforethought"

Suicide is not murder. Dying is not against the law. If somebody is in so much pain they don't want to bother living anymore, they shouldn't be have to, no matter how many people it would hurt. THEY are the ones that have to trudge through life in such despair, and it's not our place to force them to do so

If somebody I loved killed themselves, of course I would be upset and angry and wonder why they didn't try and help themselves. But it would almost be worse to have to watch them suffer like that.
