Can people have the right to control the length of live? Commit Suicide right or not?

 

 

There are a lot of debates around this question, most of the people say it's absolutely prohibited to commit suicide, basing themselves on religion views or spiritual values. Someone contradicts and support the idea of commiting suicide. They state that people can suffer from depression and can not be able to continue the life because of life's difficulties. But should a person be forced to continue to live, even against his decision?

Surely the right to life encompasses the right to take one's life?

Side: Yes

I see no mercy in a God that has the power to create you, but does not care for you, and forces you to live in unhappiness for the rest of your life. Of course you can kill yourself, if that's what you want to do, no one should be able to force you otherwise.

If you are someone looking to commit suicide then maybe the world would be a better place without you - in the end, everyone will die.

It should be your right as an American citizen. So yes suicide should be perfectly legit and legalized. The government should help people who want to die get lethal injections. What kind of God would allow innocent people to suffer through a hard life?

Do you think, that something better is waiting for him on the other side of the life?? Nothing better won't heppen after the death, acoording to Bible an Quran the suicide commiting is the right way to Hell. Moreover, today the number of suicide commited by teens is leading cause in the world. If you will give such "wise" advices to everyone, so what's going to be with our population. On the contrary you have to advice him something what has meaning...

"Do you think, that something better is waiting for him on the other side of the life??"

no, there is no way we could know that there is anything on "the other side of life" all someone who is suicidal knows is they don't want to deal with life anymore.

"Nothing better won't heppen after the death, acoording to Bible an Quran the suicide commiting is the right way to Hell."

oh cool from this statement I should assume you have complete and utter 100% factual concrete evidence that 1.) there is a hell and 2.) you will go to it for commiting suicide. otherwise you are saying that laws and rules of society should be based on specific beliefs, and if we are going to make rules based on beliefs whats stopping me from making a rule that grants nobody their rights because doing so will cause unicorns from another dimension to come kill us all?

"Moreover, today the number of suicide commited by teens is leading cause in the world."

then maybe we should try and help them out psychologically i don't see how a world full of people who are to miserable to enjoy life is any better than a world full of dead people.

"If you will give such "wise" advices to everyone, so what's going to be with our population."

yes and forcing people to live an unhappy life in order to keep our already extremely overpopulated species from decreasing in population is very wise indeed.

Your life can be different... Can be bitter as gall or be sweet as candy...but in any case you have no right to kill yourself by suicide. Your life is mercy from God, and you have NO RIGHT decide to what do with your life. Your life is nothing else as a trial, and you must believe and ask an advice and a help only from HIM! ...If someone didn't understand my words...It is very sad, very...You must be strong because Allah always with you...Grief gives way to joy, and tears gives away to smile...Suicide ANYWAY is prohibited!

Side: Yes

we have no right to force someone else to live life if they do not want to. if someone wants to kill themselves i cannot take that right away from them however being suicidal is a psychological condition, and like all conditions there is nothing wrong with having people treated for it. I think a better solution is therapy, sometimes those seek suicide as a solution to a temporary situation, which is quite illogical because it is a solution with permanent consequences. people can be irrational when depressed and therefore i think anyone who wants to end their life should seek therapy. My best friend claims that i kept him from killing himself, should I make it illegal for him to kill himself, well no I shouldn't even though that is not what i would want from him, can i be there thick and thin for support, yes i can. suicide may not always be the right decision but it is still their decision

Side: Yes

Every person has a right to choose in every situation when not violating the rights of other people. It can be applied to the life concept: to live or not to live and just end your life by yourself. This question is related to one particular person who has a power to decide and follow his decision. We cannot take it away from him (I mean the power). So, yes, people are free to end up with their lives if they feel like they don't want to continue living.

Side: Yes

I think it should be right to allow someone to end their own life, though that doesn't mean they're not delusional if they decide to do it. Even so, if someone's -that- bored or tired of living, might as well just let them go for it.

Personally, I figure when I've lived a long and successful life, or rather, if I do, I'll probably kill myself at the end of it. Mostly because I don't want to die alone and pathetic in a nursing home somewhere or unable to even put my own pants on. I mean, I know that's pretty far away, but the premise is still fairly terrible. Besides, if you can't beat death, what's the point in waiting for it to come to you?

Side: Yes

From the religious point of view, it is not right, because God the one who created us and only him can control our life, however, in my opinion commiting suicide is right and we should not judge person. it was his own choice, he is the one who is living this life and he has a right to do what he want

Side: Yes

Yes i believe that you have every right to commit suicide because there is not law to it beside the law towards god but in any case sure.

In general people don't have a right to commit suicide not only because of the certain religion, we should understand that we have close people and first of all we should remember that they love us and it doesn't matter have we problems with them or not.

But all of us knows there exist situations when certain person is alone or has problems with money, health, family and he really doesn't have meaning of his life and he want to stop this life. I think that such person should think that his life is a gift from his mom, or god and he can't lose it. If you have very serious problems that you can't solve maybe your destiny will give a good chance to solve your problems if you will stay in this world and will try to deal....of course for someone it will be like a help of god, for someone it will be a gift from destiny ....it depends on our religion.

I agree that we can't judge them but i think that such people need professional psychiatrists.

To commit your life with suicide is a not right decision because firstly you should remember that such people can't be buried in a usual cemetery with other dead people...

For people who commit suicide exist another separate cemetery

I don't think it's related to the question of whether to commit suicide or not. Dead persons usually don't care about where they're going to be buried.

No, we dont have any rights to control the length of our Life.

God gave us this life, and its in His "hands" to take it or not... it's a big sin to commit suicide etc.

Are people not allowed to be cowards, to be weak, to be impatient? As much as I hate it when people commit suicide, or are these things, I completely disagree that they should be forced into it. By forcing them into things, it detracts from the value that the things have.

Sometimes people, especially teenagers fell depressed and think that they won't be able to bear their problems and commit suicide. But it is not right solution. People should value the life that they were given and try to cope with all difficulties. There are no hopless situations.

think that any situation can be found out, there is no problem that can not be solved. One should always think about how painful it will be close, if you go out of life. And samoybiystvo is a great sin, it is considered, one hundred thy soul will be restless. You should always be able to hold his emotions.

Side: No

I don't believe that a person should end his/her life due to depression. There are counselors who can help.

In my opinion it's absolutely prohibited! Because nobody except God can give and take back your life. Of course from the point of anatomy, all of us were born from our lovely moms, BUT the reason why we came to this life is only known to God, that's why we should be thankful to him and understand the value of life. You also should take in attention the people who will be left behind you after your death. They can stay alone and no one will take care of them. I think those people who commit suicide, are someone who can't take responsibilities and persons with weak will.

Some people face with immedicable diseases, but they never give up, try to do all their best, fight with illness. We should/have to know the value of everyone's life. So, such actions as suicide are prohibited.

"Because nobody except God can give and take back your life."

thats assuming god exists, and I think it is silly to make laws and rules based off assumptions.

"Of course from the point of anatomy, all of us were born from our lovely moms, BUT the reason why we came to this life is only known to God, that's why we should be thankful to him and understand the value of life."

once again thats assuming god exists, and deciding someones rights based off this assumption is illogical. We don't know if were really made for any specific reason, as far as we know we are just part of a chain of events in the universe.

"You also should take in attention the people who will be left behind you after your death."

it's still they're decision.

"They can stay alone and no one will take care of them."

??? are you saying people who have children are wrong to commit suicide cause in that specific example i agree, but we are talking about suicide in general not any specific circumstances, so if you are going bring something like this up, make it clear you are talking about a specific situation otherwise the conversation will sound like "do people have the right to commit suicide?" "they can stay alone and no one will take care of them." which will be a confusing thing to try and follow because you are leaving out data that without leaves your response hard to understand. your sentence prior to that implies the situation you're talking about but is not specific enough because by that statement you could be talking about how sad your friends and family will be rather than the abandonment of your children or etc.

"I think those people who commit suicide, are someone who can't take responsibilities and persons with weak will."

that my friend is what we call a generalization, what if someone didn't have any responsibilities to take care of? what if someone was raped, or beaten by their parents? are they irresponsible because they commited suicide for something like that happening? that's a pretty heartless thing to say.

Once again, I'm not trying to force someone to follow my opinion...my belief in God is only mine. Each person has his own opinion about the life. Nobody won't take any responsibilities and attention to solve your problems. Whether you like it or not...life is going on and this life is given only once and it's given as an opportunity.

Ok, do not take in attention God's existence, just imagine...if you want to die because of hard life full of sufferings, you are nothing and after death you will be nothing. Of course, It seems that life full of suffering doesn't worth to live, but I can promise you this.... The suffering, which people are experiencing now is only exists in their own minds and in their current perceptions. If they learn to change their mind, to see with clarity what Life truly is, they will no longer suffer as now.

In addition, just to remark there is no one who has any idea what death is like, nobody knows how it feels like. Besides, nobody knows for sure...whether it's better option to choose death than suffer through life. If you die you won't know if there another way to pass this life, maybe you would have a chance to improve your position in life to change people's attitude towards you, It can bee too late to turn back. Even if there 90% of hopelessness, well you won't know if that 10% is worth living till you won't try.

I'm just trying to persuade you that there are only two ways: to say "yes" and try to do your best or to say "no" and accept your weakness.

As i've already mentioned nobody will care about your problems, even if the person was raped or bitten there are still these two choices, to move on or give up.

Side: No
