So then what do you think your law will be achieving? It fails as a deterrant and there are no benefits by it existing. Much like current anti-suicide laws they only exist token gestures of morality.Nimbus said:

Suicide is not the way out, people need help. Not just "it's going to be okay, everything is alright" because if everything were alright they wouldn't be killing themselves, would they? And, be honest, when has saying that ever helped ever? If you are seriously depressed, you need help.
Suicide is right if there is no other option and no waty to escape or make whatever you are going through at all better but the thing is that is almost never the case. There is always something t be done. It is ultimately the decision of the commiter though.
I have to agree with you. Suicide is preventable, but Euthanasia can help people pass in peace.Mr Frogurt said:
I think people should be legally allowed to end their lives.
I cannot jump inside of peoples' heads, I don't know what it's like to be them, so it would be inappropriate of me to assume there's a magical way to make things better for them.
Yes, perhaps therapy and liver crippling quantities of drugs can help, however, I'm of a cynical disposition, so I don't really find a mountain of value in life anyway.
If you're not enjoying it... hell, it's understandable, life doesn't exactly get miraculously better.
The greater part of your life is spent slowly deteriorating and fighting to live as long as possible before you kick the bucket.
Life is not glamorous, so if someone looks at it saying "This is not worth it" I can understand and respect their decision.

A girl a few years younger than me that I knew back in highschool killed herself last week. Sad stuff. I never would have expected it from her. I can't really form an opinion on this so soon after.
However, I am in full support of euthanasia for terminally ill patients who want to die.

I'm kind of in a state of uncaring about suicide, I know its a horrible event but I just don't care, then again I'm one of the more thick skinned individuals you will meet.
On a side not my school does an assembly about suicide every year. Last year they gave us a figure of, "every second, 17 people commit suicide" that might not seem like a lot at first, but that's 536,112,000 a year that would wipe out the earth in 11.19 years (assuming there are 6 billion people), I thought that was the stupidest thing they could have said ever, it ruined the rest of their argument.

No, I don't think it is a right. That being said I find the legal status of it interesting. It is illegal yet if they succeed there is nothing to be done and if they fail rather than go to Jail they might instead go to a mental hospital.
They want it so bad, I say let them have at it.
'Mentally diseased' I could careless, you want to kill yourself and have the means then do it.

Suicide should be a crime that's punishable by death.
On a more serious note, suicide is nothing but a selfish and cowardly way out, and I'll never have any respect or sympathy for the people who choose it. They've got no care or concern about what they're doing to anyone else, only themselves.
