Suicide.

[The Saltman]

Do you think it's ok for someone to commit suicide?

I guess this could be a better tinderbox thread but I was just wondering what the huddle thinks. Do you think it's just as bad as killing another person?

Explain.

No I am not contemplating suicide, sorry Panthro.

I'm not sure what you mean by OK.

One of my best friends just committed suicide a few months ago. It was devastating for all his friends and family. I don't understand why he did it however it was his choice. IMO a very horrible decision but morally wrong? In his case i don't think so. Does morality even matter at that point? Idk, deep questions that i don't have answers to or maybe don't want to have answers to.

And no it's nothing like killing another person, imo.

I think its pretty selfish. I mean its their body, but especially when people with kids do it. Basically abandoning their family. One would hope they'd go get help instead, but that doesn't always happen.

I think its the easy way out and it effects/affects ( not sure which is proper here) others some to the point of contemplating suicide also. My take is if you wanna kill someone , join the military and that way you could also die like you wanted without it leaving everyone with so many questions that can never be answered.

I think its pretty selfish.

I tend to agree but I think every case is different. I value human life therefore I will never entertain that option but who am I to decide what is right/wrong for someone else.

Its worse IMO

Suicide is the one way to ensure the people you care for the most will suffer the most pain and confusion.

Suicide is the most selfish thing a person can do. It comes from feelings of inadequacy and loss of hope in life. If you truly cared about those people, who care about you, you wouldn't commit suicide.

The only time suicide is okay is if you are uncontrollably suffering. I'm saying situations like, you're terminally ill and want to go on your own terms, or were in a horrible accident or something, and you get no pleasure from life anymore because of what has happened to you. I see no reason a physically healthy person should commit suicide, there is always hope.

cool, I get to post this again...

It makes life on those around you tougher, but no one should have the right to tell you you can't do it if you wish to.

this.

also wanna say that it is illegal?

It's selfish. It's worse than murder, and even though I'm not religious my answer is based on a church upbringing. Though shall not kill. It includes yourself, and if you're dead you can't ask forgiveness.

Also, my first step mom killed herself. It was apparently a financial decision for her. She had been giving her family money from credit card advances for some reason. To the point of being maxed out. She took a .38 to the face, and left my dad to deal with the financial institutions. I never liked that woman.

the inconvenience it causes the relatives and loved ones is insignificant when compared to the inner turmoil it would take to cause someone to take their own life.

Hmm...

No, no, no, and no Saltman. You will not get 72 virgins. A goat is the best Allah can do for you.
