Suicide
Basically I think people should have the right to choose whether they want to stay or not. It shouldn't be up to the government, or a doctor, or anyone else. There is clearly a reason they want to leave, and who are you to stop them?

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.

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. Side: I'm for Suicide
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.

Family will always try to stop one from committing suicide and they have all the right to try and save someone they love. On the other hand if you were to commit suicide then it's a cowards way out of a bad moment. People don't usually announce when they are going to commit suicide unless you are looking to see if someone will stop you. Side: Suicide is wrong

Depends on what is called suffering. "Suffering" does not mean you can not still find enjoyment out of life. Life is meant to be lived and their are countless conditions which can be coined 'suffering', and many of them simply need to be adjusted to; they may even become a blessing. 'suffering' is no excuse. That being said I find it interesting that death is claimed to be something most feared by nearly everyone, yet suicide is said to be for cowards. Side: Suicide is wrong

Sorry can you rephrase that. I think you're trying to say what about if it helped people out when hurt? It's a cowards way out. GENERALLY. There are times when the situation is extremely terrible, but that tends not to be the case in most suicide cases. Most of them tend to be when a relationship gets bad or getting fired etc. In western countries? Where the government is always there to lend a hand in any situation? Pointless. If you've just been horribly traumatised in some way then suicide can be slightly more justified but I can only ever see it justified in places where people are actually suffering - more than anybody you know - and on their best day will never have luxuries that people who commit suicide because they split up with their partners do.

i think suicide is complety wrong.. a few of my friends have considered sucide before and if they would of i dont know what i would do... sucide hurts those people around you more then anything if your in pain and need help talk to someone you trust and they will help you as best they can.. and even though it seeems like itll never get better it will.. give it time. nothing is ever worth taking your own life.. people need you even if you dont know it..
