Just as an added wrinkle for those 'it's seflish' camp, what if they were a registered organ donor and took steps to keep them viable (like calling the cops right before the act). Sure they'd hurt their connections, but would help and potentially save the lives of one or more potentially more productive/objectively worthwhile persons.

A couple good ones:
When the weight of the world has got ya down,
and you want to end your life-
Bills to pay, a dead-end job,
and problems with the wife.
But don't throw in the towel,
'cause there's a place right down the block-
where you can drink your misery away.
At Flaming Moe's-
When liquor in a mug,
Can warm you like a hug-
And happiness is just a Flaming Moe away,
Happiness is just a Flaming Moe away....
-And my other favorite-
Whenever Richard Cory went down town,
We people on the pavement looked at him:
He was a gentleman from sole to crown,
Clean favored, and imperially slim.
And he was always quietly arrayed,
And he was always human when he talked;
But still he fluttered pulses when he said,
"Good-morning," and he glittered when he walked.
And he was rich?yes, richer than a king,
And admirably schooled in every grace:
In fine, we thought that he was everything
To make us wish that we were in his place.
So on we worked, and waited for the light,
And went without the meat, and cursed the bread;
And Richard Cory, one calm summer night,
Went home and put a bullet through his head.

Really? Medical science has yet provided a way to "down right get over it", yet you have discovered "various ways". I would like you to expand upon your experience and methods for treating the clinical disease known as depression, and what successes you have had in curing those effected by it.jasoncyrus said:
Never said there was a cure, i simply said they can get over it. As you statd medical science has provided SEVERAL ways to get over it.cuddly_tomato said:
Cake also works nicely.
Yeah, that is pretty funny, actually, although others may not feel the same way.KneeLord said:Like a nice casket or urn? Sorry, I'm joking in poor taste and I know what you actually meant, it just the way you wrote that was hilarious.Twentyfists said:
One of my family members attempted suicide twice. He was suffering from mental illness at the time
Nowdays it is not something he would ever consider.
Im not sure of the figures but most attempts don't result in death, and personally I draw from that that the individual is more trying to make a statement or garner attention rather then end their life
No matter which way you cut it life is an amazing ride, why get off too soon?

Suicide isn't right people who fall back on suicide tend to only be thinking of themselves they don't see the long term emotional effects it can have on there family and friends not to mention the financial strain it puts on family i know that seems cold but some people really cant afford to die, I believe suicide to be a very selfish thing to do.
they should be able to if they want to but they should be offered help (in the forms of counselling psychiatry etc.) first.
I considered suicide for a while once waited in the dark by a motorway, almost ready to jump out at the next car that sped past. But I decided against it and came to the conclusion that I should just try and sort my life out and if it didn't work then I could just end it. Anyway to cut a long story short I took a fresh perspective on life, became more confident gained a lot of friends, got my body into shape, got a girlfriend and I should hopefully go to university soon so every thing's going nicely
My sister's best friend committed suicide and she was not in her right mind, I think if someone is disabled or very sick then they should be able to end their life as long as they're sane, if someone is not mentally healthy then they should get help for trying.
Ive contemplated suicide. Im not sick and im sure as shit not depressed, i just get fucking bored. Bored of everything, bored of my family, bored of my friends, bored of my life. Everything. The only things that help me feel better at times like that are drink and weed.
I think that a person should always intervene in the case of suicide. It's probably quite often the case that the person has no idea how much it'll affect their whole community. Euthanasia is OK, but a person should always work past suicide.
Well if you truly want to kill yourself you should at the very least decide whether or not your a person who craves attention. If so then do the following:
1. Jump off a building
2. Poisoning yourself in public
3. Mass Murder then suicide.
If not:
1. Rope
2. Gun
3. Get mauled by zombies
So know that we know the basic ways to kill ourselves we can right back to discussing whether or not it is wrong.
No. Its not. It can be seen as disturbing and sad but since death will happen to everyone you should be glad that you at least got to see how one ended while you will never know how you died. Ever.

i don't really know what i'm talking about but from personal experience and experiences of others i know i think most people who consider suicide don't realise that things will most likely get better for them. so i don't think suicide should be allowed in most cases because it isn't a good decision.
