Assisted Suicide

[Det in F♯ Major]

How many have you known who have attempted suicide?

Some of you talk as though you've wanted it pretty bad at one point.

[Daddy]

You all talk as though you've wanted it pretty bad at one point.

Yes. Which is why I understand.

I obviously never went through with it or an attempt because I realized it wasn't worth it, but I can completely understand why someone would feel so hopeless as to see only death as a way to escape their problems. Or, those who dont' want to die, enough to shock those around them into actually caring that something is dangerously wrong.

Oh, pathetic teenage angst. </3

Okay, can we actually talk about assisted suicide now? 
I doubt I'd ever do it. No matter what state I was in.

[superclucky]

There aren't really any legitimate reasons for committing suicide outside of unbearable physical pain

depressed people would usually weight the negatives and positives and usually the latter wins and they kill themselves, or try to :X

aka if i'm dead they'll be happy, i won't spend anyone's money, i won't bother anyone anymore, etc.

But they're delusional which makes it true to themselves but not to others therefore making their suicide somewhat legit to themselves only. <3

or a cry for attentions since everyone is ignoring them

[guff]

FUCKING HELP YOURSELF, MAN.

that's what suicide is for

There aren't really any legitimate reasons for committing suicide outside of unbearable physical pain

uh who exactly is the Great Suicide Arbiter that defines the legitimacy of suicide

you're all retarded anyways

assisted suicide only concerns the terminally ill, not the mentally ill

I think the law is the one that decides the legitimacy of things, so I'd go with that. And suicide is illegal, therefore there are no legitimate reasons for it currently.

Of course society can alter the legitimacy of laws by changing them if the public opinion sways, which is why we're discussing views on assisted suicide I suppose as it is more controversial

suicide is not illeagle in canada.
it can't be illeagle because you can't really put the person in jail or sue them if their dead...

then your previous statement doesn't make a whole lot of sense:

There aren't really any legitimate reasons for committing suicide outside of unbearable physical pain

suicide because of unbearable physical pain (incidentally what made you single out physical pain ) is still illegal so i guess you made a reversal idk

Well yeah, I did. It's generally a good idea when you're incorrect about something.

Or maybe it's a way to stop the pain. To get some rest and peace.
