Suicide

[shrewsbury]

but if they are influenced by illness, drugs, or other things, it is not their choice.

I agree a person with sound mind and body has the right to end their life, assisted suicide with fatal and debilitating illness' is humane, in my opinion.

But, this is not the case with nearly all suicides, they needed help and didn't get it is the biggest cause.

saying this is perhaps more selfish.

so having a mental illness and not getting the help you need is selfish? perhaps you could not afford the help, perhaps you are too ill to seek it, perhaps your family/friends did not take it seriously, perhaps a bully or other event set it off.

mental illness comes in many forms and just because someone was not diagnosed prior to the suicide does not mean they were not ill.

have you ever had someone close to you commit suicide? I am guessing maybe not.

But that all ignores one thing, Jay.

It's much easier to blame someone else with a simple sentence than to think about things all the way through.

I belived only God knows if someone goes to heaven or hell. I also belive God works in a gray area and not in black and white.

We want your answer, not an answer about what some invisible guy does.

That is his answer though.
It's called living by God's word. The validity you can argue all day long, but it is his answer.

A person's life is his/her's to decide what to do with it.

If one wants to end it in his own way....I'm ok with that.

Agreed.

[shrewsbury]

Agreed.

veggie, you are ok with someone under the influence of illness, drugs, or high stress that commits suicide?

I don't think you guys understand that most who commit suicide are not people who are in their right mind.

I would prefer that they get help but utltimately who are we to tell another adult what to do with their lives. If they kill themself it is their live not ours.

it is not their life, they are ill and not capable of making life decisions.
