| If Someone Wants To Commit Suicide, Other People Should Not Intervene. |
| When a person wants to commit suicide, it is because their pain has outgrown their coping resources and mechanisms. The problems of today's world are real and many have no way out. Sometimes, it is better to end ones life than to deal with the pain and pressures of today's society. It is their life, and if they want to end it, then they should be allowed. |

It's True. But say this was your mum that was going to commit suicide you wouldn't want that to
happen and you would want to intervene. So i mean it's pretty hard it just depends on who it is
really
and i find it hard to believe that you can get arrested for trying to commit suicide. [ if you don't
actually kill yourself.] |

Dude... You are being selfish all of whom are against IMO... Reason being: Its thier choice and you
want to stop them from achieving their goal, letting them suffer in their missery until they die in
a suffering old or older age.
IM NOT BASHING ON YOU GUYS I'M JUST ASKING YOU TO THINK ABOUT THE FOLLOWING...
Oh ya...
Nice quote by the way scorpion... You didnt even put those in quotation marks, saw it on a school
poster freshman year in my health class -"a perminent solution to a temporary problem, is no
solution"
and between what contradicts that is... What if it is a physical thing that affected them? Or how
bout they are in debt by millions of dollars... Now how are these temporary problems because those
will affect a person the rest of their life, especialy if he/she looses a leg, a spouse, a company
that you built up ones entire life pooring his/her heart and soul into... People put their own
meaning on life... Why do you think you can just judge them... Now honestly... Just think i know
every one has thier own opinion but it seems wrong to Want to Make someone Suffer, caring is an
issue... Care enough to accept someone elses choice... It's the individual that we are considering
here and i know another thing is that most of them have a mental problem... Which has been shown
that 90% of them that commit suicide have a mental problem... But what statistics leave out is that
the normal is about 60% to 75% of the worlds population has a mental problem (no joke) so actualy
having a mental problem is "normal" if you looking at it by the mean, mode, or median of the
population
i know you must think im crazy but let them make their own choice in life.... Or death... If they
choose.... As long as they do not end someone elses life in the process... Let them choose
in fact, i know many people think that suicide is an easy way out of life, something a pussy would
do... But at the same time often times people fail to commit suicide because they realize they didnt
want to before or during thier attempt... To commit suicide takes a lot of courage and allot of
suffering to make the full desicion to go through with it (every one regardless of mental state has
that life spark that makes them want to live and to fight that with their missery of their world and
kill themselves takes a lot of mental power)
now all thats left is to question do they realy want to commit suicide? There is no answer, but
actions speak louder than words my friend |

Of course they shouldn't. If someone tries to commit suicide and you stop them, they can sue you.
Haven't you ever seen The Incredible? |

This is a tough one, but I have to say that I agree. If someone really is unhappy then it is their
decision. Having said that, I do think that people, however unhappy they are, should stop and think
of the suffering that they will leave behind once they have gone. Whilst their suffering will have
ended, the suffering of their loved ones will begin and carry on for a long time.
We all have moments where we feel like life is too difficult for us, but it's the ones that are
desperately unhappy that choose to take their lives and I believe that it is their decision. No one
should live their life feeling unhappy. It's a shame these people cannot find anything good about
life. There is always something worth living for and for me it's my friends and family. I could
never do such a thing to them, no matter how unhappy I am. |

It's a tough one for me, and there are two major points to consider:
1) It's their life and you have no right to interfere. You should not have a degree of control in
their life, no matter what the circumstances.
2) They may not be right in the head, and not know what they are doing.
The first one is how I feel strongly, but the second one is my largest reservation. |

Of course they should be allowed to. How in the heck do you know what happens after someone dies.
You make dying seem like a bad thing. It would take selfish people to want to force someone to
prolong suffering. Death is part of humanity and they so choose to make that decision, it is there
sole right to do so. Life is worth living because that is all we know. Do you have anything else
to compare it to? Its like someone saying, I like to eat, because its worth living for. Well duh.
Do you have an option. |

I don't particularly think that suicide is a good idea because there are lots of different ways to
handle life (rather that killing yourself because your too much of a sissy to tough it up and not
quit at the game when the going gets though). I would know, I've thought about ending my own life
before, but I've never gone through with it because i always realized that life was worth living
for, but that's not the point. The point IS that if people really want to go then let them. It's
their life and they have control of it. |

No. Most people that are suicidal have severe mental problems. Many of which can be corrected or
at least reduced. We should look at a suicidal person the same way that we look at someone with any
other mental disorder.
I think i would talk to people that attempted suicide and later became happy and productive people
before i agree to let people just off themselves. |

People should always intervene if someone is suicidal. A person who is feeling suicidal generally
does not want to die. They do not want to live under the circumstances that they are living in at
that moment. It is a sign of a serious mental illness.
I would say that the only exception to this is one who is terminally ill and ending their life is to
end great suffering and agony. Still, I don't always believe this is the best answer. There are
many advances in pain control and, having lost a parent after a lengthy illness, I am glad that he
did not choose to take his life, but to die in dignity. We kept him comfortable and his passing was
such a loss, but knowing that he chose to take the more difficult path gives me greater respect for
him and demonstrated a courage that few people I have known posess. |

I know the pain of life can become unbearable and you just don't want to live anymore but there can
be hope, hope for a better tomorrow.
If you're contemplating suicide, please reconsider. There is more to your life than that circle
you've become entrapped in, step out of it now, move to a different circle, talk to someone, call
the Suicide Hotline (1-800-SUICIDE), but please don't take your precious life because you can't get
it back once you take it.
If you are being bullied, abused, just mistreated in any way there are people that can help you, be
not afraid to tell someone you will be protected. If you've suffered a loss, time will heal all
pain, it won't make the memories go away but in time you will feel better. Remember someone loves
you and would be devastated if they loss you, for you are valuable, you are important.
Also, if taking any psychopathic drugs DO NOT STOP TAKING THEM ALL AT ONCE - BECAUSE SUICIDAL
TENDENCIES SURFACE after the drugs are stopped suddenly and have contributed to many suicides by the
young and old.
Peace and Love |

Eh, it's better that they get some counseling. A person in that situation probably has a lot to
contribute to the world and just doesn't know it yet. I'm sure all they'd really need is someone
that really cares about them. |

There are people that die everyday and don't deserve it.. They're happy and living their life and
then something happens and their life is over without a choice.. I don't think its fair to have a
choice in life and want to end it.. These ppl need to get over it and find another reason to live.. |

In my view, people should have the right to take their own lives after long and solemn reflection.
There are circumstances where it well be appropriate. The evidence shows, however, that a great deal
of suicide is impulsive in nature.
Almost anyone could commit suicide if it was really intended. But studies have demonstrated that
restricting the easy availability of the means to commit suicide can actually have a dramatic effect
on the suicide rate. One of the most famous examples occurred in Britain with a switchover of the
type of gas ovens that were used to power British homes. The original type of gas contained monoxide
so people could commit suicide easily just by sticking their heads in ovens. With the new type of
gas, that wasn't possible. In theory,
this shouldn't have affected the suicide rate because people who really wanted to end it all would
just find other means to do so. In practice, it lowered the suicide rate in Britain dramatically.
What this means is that many people who commit suicide haven't engaged in long and solemn
reflection. They do it impulsively.
Other studies have essentially confirmed the same results. The easy availability of effective means
of committing suicide dramatically changes the suicide rate, because you get more "impulse toppers"
to coin a phrase. In areas where gun ownership is widespread, for example, suicide is higher than
elsewhere.
After their emotional crisis is past, they can live normal and happy lives. Interviews with
survivors of suicide attempts, including those who used means which are nearly always fatal (so
excluding the half-hearted cry for help type attempts) confirms this. The vast majority of people
who survive jumping off a bridge don't try to commit suicide again.
If people are falling prey to an irrational and temporary impulse, it is legitimate to try to stop
them. Only non-impulsive suicides should be allowed to proceed without intervention. |

Okay. So basically your saying.
Oh its okay if you want to end your life.
So go spend eternity in hell and hate it more.
You should help them.
Fix whats going on.
And turn their life around.
Hmm..
Think about that. |

Flash ahh ahhh you would kill every one of us. Do do do do do do..... |

I have a friend a very close friend and he tells me that he doesn't deserve to be here and stuff
like that its like really sad and it makes me cry he hasn't done it yet and god i hope he
don't...and maybe if you "intervene" and get through to them they will understand that they
shouldn't kill themselves you must not know no one that wants to kill them self its really
depressing |

And what if 5 minutes after they have died a solution comes along to their problems. Suicide is too
final and life to predictable for this to ever happen. |
| |
|
| |
|

|

No. People should be able to try to convince the person not to commit suicide. A lot of people have
at least thought of suicide once in their life. And if there wasn't people out there who cared
enough to try to convince them not to then imagine how many suicides would occur if people were not
aloud to try and convince them other wise. It would be way to many. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
Absolutely not, whilst people have a right over their bodies and all that the fact is that suicide
is in almost all cases a cry for help, not a definitive lifestyle choice. It is people contemplating
and attempting suicide who need most intervention by others to help them. |

Flash- Are you looking for permission? Posting this debate doesn't make a lot of sense.
If you see or know of someone who is about to hurt themselves of course you step in to the extent
that it is safe to do so. I agree with Scorpion- that compassion is what makes us human.
If you know of someone who's pain has outgrown their coping resources, congratulate them. They've
achieved humanity. That is a part of life and it will likely happen more than once. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
No. Because a permanent solution to a temporary problem, is no solution.
Caring about what becomes of another is what makes us Human.
In a nice way. |
