YES! Even though things are going horribly wrong, and it seems that the only option is to kill yourself it's not! SUICIDE IS WRONG! Everything works for good, even if it doesn't seem that way, but it does! Everything becomes okay in the end! THERE IS ALWAYS ANOTHER WAY!

Suicide is wrong. Everyone has a purpose in life. Suicide is a permanent decision for only a temporary situation.

I mean I guess it would depend on why you'd think about doing such a horrible thing and cause your loved ones and friends to miss you and lose you without getting help first.

Sodomy is fueled by depression and/or mental illness
Sodomy is a form of suicide because it ends a lineage
It is the worst kind of suicide because it dismisses the idea of having ANY kids
therefore ending the individual genes along with his helpless ancestor's.

The big deal is selfishness vs love. Dying in place of someone else is love because you give everything of this world away! Suicide is the opposite of love because you are saying "I'm done with this world. It is not worth it to love anyone else anymore."

I cannot think of any situation in which you cannot switch your life and turn into a Mother Teresa or Jesus-like person.
(just to clarify, when i say "love" i mean sacrificial love that puts others' interests before your own.)

Does that make sense?

I think suicide is wrong but their is nothing a human can do about it because can't punish the person can they if that person is dead and it would be cruel to punish the family for it unless they knew but didn't tell someone

In the bible it says that if you commit suicide you will NOT GO TO HEAVEN!!! I mean, I want to become a psycologist when I grow up so I'm gonna save peoples lives!

 The first step is learning how to spell it correctly: psychologist.

You may feel good about the lives you do save, but how will you feel about the lives you could not save? You might want to think twice before becoming too committed.

You could always become an experimental psychologist as opposed to a clinical psychologist.

You should search evolutionary psychology too; very fascinating.

Yes it's wrong ... But depression is a disease and it eats away at you until you do commit suicide ... Even though you think that someone shouldn't, doesn't mean they won't ... People just need to care for their metal health and hopefully it will stop ...

 Being depressed means you dont care and want to give up. It being a disease means they didnt choose to be this way.

You where given a life to live it to its full potential, there's no point in killing yourself when you don't know how your life is going to change. Also if the person make a poor suicide attempt they will be taken to hospital costing health services money to help them heal when they want to waste their life. Wasting peoples time and money

I believe suicide is wrong, personally. Nothing is impossible is you try hard enough at it, there is always a solution you just have to find it, and if someone does not have the will to do so themselves, then the people around them should help them in finding it. Life is a gift, for all we know we may only get one life, live everyday to the full, have no regrets, take chances when they arise and don't let them pass you by. You never know, you may never get another chance, think of all there is to live for, than all there isn't to live for.

I believe suicide is wrong. It is a gift of life. And the most wretched lives people have lived have brought beautiful things into our world. And it is a true tragedy when people feel cut out from people and feel this is there only way to resolve their issues. I sympathize with anybody who faces issues and I myself have contemplated suicide. Hey, death's easy and life's hard. I believe God bestowed life, but don't be so hard on people that are tearing themselves apart. Something clearly has them in a dump. AND for all the people that think suicide isn't wrong... Yes. It is a choice. You can do whatever you want with it. But it's unethical. You can run across the street and make a fool of yourself, but its unethical.

Even abortion. I believe in my heart its wrong and unethical. [agree to disagree]. But you possess free will. And again you can do it.

Yes. Because you've been given a life but you decide to end it because of a few problems.
I know people kill themselves for different reasons.
But what about those who are in 3rd world countries and have nothing but scraps to eat. They still eat where as to you your very privileged.
Some people don't have what others have so you can't just go killing yourself because of a few problems.
Children who get bullied and commit suicide should not do that. Because life still goes on. The bullies are just cowards who pick on people that are physically and mentally lower than them. Everyone has reasons but suicide should not be the answer...

No one should commit suicide. No matter what the circumstances because life belongs to God. People don't have the right to take their lives. Suicide is a bad thing.

People who commit suicide or contimplate suicide are stupid. Be offended if you want.

You are ignorant if you think that you have the worst life in the world. There is ALWAYS somebody worse off than you. And for those of you who say that there is no other way out, then I say you're wrong, because there is a way but you're too lazy or weak. You're never in a situation that you can't somehow control, even if it's very little control. The only people I could symphathize with this debate are people who've been in situations like the Holocaust, but I still say that you'd be weak. (Don't yell at me on this one, because I would at least highly consider running into an electric fence if I was in the Holocaust. Yes, I would be weak in that kind of situation).

My friend contimplated suicide and cut herself a bit and she was DUMB. She says her life sucks but she's too dumb to see that she is lucky. She has a family (who's together), a house, clothes, food, an education, a free life, and a chance to do whatever she wants. But like I said, she's too dumb to see it. My other friend contemplated suicide (and still goes to therapy for it), just because some people were saying stupid things to her. She's a baby as well. Who cares if a couple of people you don't care about say some things? Granted they were mean things, but still...get over yourself. Be hurt, but don't go overboard. You will go to hell if you kill yourself.

Many people think, before they kill themselves, that nothing worse could happen. That's true most of the time. But things can get BETTER. If people would just realize this, suicide would go down.

Suicide is selfish because then it hurts everyone that loves them...and its not like its a way out of anything..nothing in anybodys life is bad enough to end it...believe me there are people in worse places and they have a lot harder of a time.....and that goes for cutters too...i personally am not against anyone..i have many friends that went though that stage...i had to help them.... Its very hard to see your friends in that way....there isn't a reason to end your life or even hurt your self... And if you do have thoughts about it i recommend a good friend ♥

Suicide is wrong, it is difficult to stop someone if that is what they intend to do. For those left behind it is important to understand that no matter what you do or say, if they are determined you can only put it off, till another time. If they can be stopped at all it will only be accomplished by a true professional.

 But that's why the Bible calls it a Sin right? So it shifts the negative feeling back onto the person who killed them self. "Oh it's not my fault, that person sinned by committing suicide, I cut all ties with them and they don't have my sympathy because they are going to Hell"

Suicide is just taking a life, i it could be labeled as murder, i think that suicide should be illegal, e.g if they person trying to committed suicide is stopped then they should be punished afterward, they only reason i think they are not punished is because people watch TV and do what they see and what they see is that they have to feel sorry for a person that tried to committed suicide when in reality that person that tried to committed suicide was either trying to take a life, or trying to get attention

Acctually on many ways, people could be suffereing. Every day more and more teens are getting bullied, and put down for there style, or there likes. Depression is one of the leading causes in suicide. I have depression, everday it's a struggle. Too go through so much everday but still fake a smile. It's harder. If someone really needs to jumo to the last resort, because they feel as if nothing will get better. Then let it. I'm not saying don't help people with there problems. It's still difficult, it will always be. Some kids/ teens don't get medication. Some kids are too poor to eat everday. I say, let them live there life. It's there choice to end it. Even if it's an selfish act.

Sure. Ironically, it is the cowards way out, but it takes a lot of courage. Everyone dies eventually. Does it matter if it is now or later? What if once you die, all your memories and experiences just evaporate? And once everyone who knew you dies, so will theirs. Not a ripple in the galaxy.

A human is the master of their own body and can do as they wish. I think the only time their actions should be stopped is if they are a risk to others. I'm not for it, I would definitely try to help them get better in anyway possible with their consent, however it cannot really be said to be wrong if they are not risking my own or someone else's life.

No. Suicide is an individuals choice, based on their own quality of life. No one should prevent another from making their own choice for their life. As long as they do not harm another with their act. While it may upset family or friends their emotional reaction should not force a person who wants to end their life to live when they don't want to.

Ultimately, your life is your own. I think if I demanded that my loved one kept living a life of unbearable emotional or physical pain, in order to save me the pain of losing them, that would be more selfish than them committing suicide.

It doesnt make sense that some religions believe that if you die for someone else its the ultimate sacrifice but if you do for yourself its the ultimate sin. I mean what is the difference. Sometimes hell may even be better than life. You just dont understand that type of pain if you think suicide is wrong.

Depression mortality retrospect of wrong decisions or the combo of misfortunes are not the only reasons for suicide,nor the abuse bulling and stuff.People sometimes just give up.It is a sin and it is very selfish and inconsiderate but sometimes sometimes we just don't care nihilism some call it but definition just doesn't sit well with me.The only reason I am still standing today is cause I want to die for something I believe in,problem is I have nothing left to believe in.I am not depressed or something like that no I'm just tired, sense of humor is only thing keeping me up.So I disagree People should be able to commit suicide, while keeping in mind that this sin will not be absolved.

 Damselfly....I totally agree with you. I think the thing to remember is that people who are driven to take their own lives don't want to die, they don't want to live in the pain they are in. Many don't believe that they are even doing any good for even their family and friends by being alive and feel that everyone is better off if they are gone. Unless someone has been in the shoes of someone considering taking their life, they cannot say that that person is wrong, selfish or anything other than someone who is deserving of our deepest compassion.

I think if a little whiney person wants to take his or her own life we should let them. And it is as if they would really do anything good for society anyways. If Hitler would have killed himself earlier alot of people would have been better off.

Who cares if some EMO kid decides that it's just not worth it.

I would rather thin out the herd than keep disturbed individuals around that would rather not be here.

Does anyone like working with people that HATE their job and are constantly negative and depressing to be around? I thought not. So why do you want to keep those people miserable when they so CLEARLY don't want to be here?

What about in cases like Deborah Purdy where she wants her husband to help her go to Switzerland to commit euthanasia because she has MS and cannot be cured?
And if people want to kill themselves, it's their choice, who are we to tell them they're wrong? We don't know exactly what they've been through, and more importantly, how they perceived what they've been through.

So if I'm stuck in a hole with no food, a little water, and a knife do i let myself go through a very painful death caused by dehydration or do i finish it fast? This is a ideal situation though if there's a chance for survival ignoring your instincts is basically giving up life anyway.

This subject gets me so annoyed. If a person kills themselves they must be so low, so depressed so absolutely at the bottom that they see no other way out, they are not thinking clearly they don't care about the people they leave as they don't care about themselves. It must be so horrendous to feel so bad that death is the better option so how anyone can say its wrong or selfish or a cowards way out is beyond me. I'd say it takes a hell of a lot of guts to kill yourself and feel so sad that these people have no-one to turn to. We need to have sympathy for these people not condemn them.

 Julieann,
In my experience they do have someone to turn to. Those left behind, ask themselves a thousand questions, over and over again. They naturally wonder if they said, didn't say, did or didn't do something, Went out at the wrong time, went away at the wrong time. What ever it was it was, they blame themselves. When in actual fact is likely, as you rightly describe above. They are probably too irrational to think about those they leave behind.
I just wonder, if they had the right help they might still be here. I could name quite a few, and what I would give, to talk to them.

Suicide is a very selfish act.......it hurts all they leave behind. Depression sucks, people need to realize they need help and people around them need to shower them with love and affection......

We all lead very different lives. Life can be hard and many people who commit suicide are lost in this world. I don't think every case is the same and many people do not have friends or families to help them in hard times. I think if you don't want to be here anymore than it isn't for me to say that you are wrong.

There are so many reasons people would commit suicide, unfortunately, most of the people who agree that it is wrong seem to hold the view that people only do it because they are cowards or their religious scriptures deem it wrong which is a moral view (which may not necessarily be a bad thing).

Lets have a look at Altruistic suicide, Altruism means acting unselfishly, directed by a concern for others even if this is harmful to oneself. Altruistic suicide occurs when individuals are so integrated into society that they take their lives out of a sense of duty. They are so powerfully committed to the norms and values of society that they make the ultimate sacrifice.

In some nomadic hunting and gathering bands that follow seasonal movements of game, the elderly and frail were left behind to die for the benefit of the group who could move on and survive.

Suicide bombers perceive that what they do is for a good cause and are driven to do what they believe is right. Would you willingly die to save your family or someone very close to you? That's suicide and acts of sacrifice are commonplace (Jesus willingly giving his life for the benefit of mankind when he could have easily prevented his death?)

 I think your argument sounds good, but all the examples you gave are sacrifice and not suicide. Sacrifice and suicide are not the same thing, sacrifice is always willing, just like suicide, but very different reasons. Suicide is considered and act of cowardess because the person is just trying to escape a world he considers too tough to live in. Screw the families left behind and their feelings. So what the little kids, who love them and are hurt for the rest of their live, because he just couldn't take, that day... That day... there's the statement, see a person in desperation, only sees the moment and not that all things change, it never lasts, they're just too caught up in themselves (selfish)

In some extreme cases, you are faced with two options : Schizophrenia or suicide. In such a case, I wonder what would you choose ?

 What is Schizophrenia? And if it were really that bad,which I'm sure it probably is,what man or woman,child or teen, old and young will not run looking for love ,security, and COMFORT? Suicide is the permanent solution

Umm... Ok... Hitler... Hitler killed himself... Would it have been better to have not done that and been punished by whomever, or better for someone else to have gotten to kill him or... Or... Or... Blech...
Still... There's so much to debate with suicide and all the other side seems to have to say is judgments? Someone is thinking about killing themselves reading these posts and your calling them a coward? For trying to think in ways that escape the box your creating for them?
I don't think the other side are cowards... I don't know what to think of them quite frankly maybe just nice guys? Nice guys with nice ideas of how to keep the world a nice place. Suicide of course not in their plans. Suicide of course something only cowardly people do.
Pretty silly, you nice people you.
No one wants to tell someone suicide is for them. A lot like abortion people tend to have this idea that it's ok if you want to but "i would never do it."
tough to argue with that logic. I look at suicide as something you earn. At the same time, i don't know who that is exactly i suppose its just something you feel? One of those things you can't fight and you feel like continuing to live is distinctly the opposite of what you want to be doing... Still... The idea that any of us know whether or not suicide is the right thing or the wrong thing is pretty ridiculous.
I think death in general is just seen with such an agonizing sense of postponement that the idea of rushing towards it has a morbid quality to it.
There are more people in the world than you realize. More type of people than you'll ever read about. And more ways of seeing any given opinion from any given person than there are atoms in the universe. I think its beautiful. I think people are beautiful. You just have to know how to work them. Lord knows they hate being worked. "hour after our work is never over..." -Daft Punk (Harder, Better, Stronger, Faster)

I have always felt that humans are lucky to have the necessary free will to decide their own fates, especially when it comes to suicide.
Yes, it is a tragedy when a young person, heedless of the effect of his or her family or acquaintances, takes his or her own life, but let’s look at the age group with the highest rate of suicide in the U.S.: Senior citizens.
I admire any senior who, faced with chronic pain or a wasting illness kills him/herself to spare the family added grief and or expense.
People suffering from crippling depression should have the right to just clock out of what they see as a useless existence.
As for the argument that suicides are cowards, this is outright offensive.
The reasons that people kill themselves are extremely complex, with the act’s effect on the survivors just a small part of the equation.

If people want to do something with their life, who are you to stop them doing so?

 Ok ,Snipex... who are YOU to tell them to kill themselves? This debate is far more than political correctness. Its about you life. My question is ... why was your life given to YOU? I would much appreciate you pondering that question and finding that the answer is Jesus.
