While I don't condone suicide, as a lot of people can be helped, I view it's illegality as borderline ridiculous. If you end your own life there is nothing anyone can do about it plus I've never heard of anyone being tried for attempted suicide.

Well I don't like these tags. I'm not "for" suicide, but I do believe people should have the choice. I don't consider it a government issue.

I would hope that someone would make an attempt to help anyone that wanted to commit suicide but ultimately, the person is going to do it or they aren't.

If someone wanted to commit suicide then they would do it, for whatever reason they may feel they need to do it.

It;s not about stopping them because we want them not to have the right to do it but because as humans we feel as though we want to help them from making a rash decision that doesn't only affect them but the people around them.

I'm for anything that reduces rush hour traffic, like freeway shootings ; )

I'd want someone to try to stop me if I were going to do it because it shows they care enough to, but then again if it rally got that bad for someone...and thats all they could really do...then i think they should get the choice.

So long as they are not abandoning dependents and they are in what may be coined a 'proper' mind set about their condition and their life I see no reason why it should be illegal.

Attempted suicide is often times a sign that a person does not have a 'proper' mind set, and it being illegal allows for hospitalization of them.

I would support there being a process a person can apply towards which upon passing would allow them to kill themselves without several of the problems doing it without such a process would make.

There are usually a lot of red flags or warning signs that a person shows before they actually take their own life. If someone is suffering that much and sees death as the only solution, there is little or nothing that can be done to help them. If they don't succeed the first time, they will keep trying until they do.

Suicide is a way out for many who feel they can no longer go on - it is for that reason that I am not against it. But I do believe this: anyone can die, not everyone can live; in other words, do the impossible and turn some heads in process.

I can't figure out just by the description if this is about people with suicidal tendencies or about people thriving for euthanasia. The description can fit both cases.

Any arguments you have against suicide are your own. The only person who has to answer for committing suicide, doesn't answer to anyone on this planet. And I'm certain that God knows exactly what is in the person's mind and heart. I don't believe that doing this is a one way ticket to Hell either.

Yes, it can be devastating to family and friends. However, in some cases; like my father's (he had 3 types of cancer and could not handle the pain of the diseases any longer), the family is simply glad the person is no longer in pain.

Whatever it takes to reduce the population....
