I honestly think that making it against the law will just drive the sad little emo's into more depression... rolleyes

suicide is against the law. your not allowed to take your own life, it's considered equivelant to murder

One: Proof?
Two: See my above post.

go find it

Wait, wait wait. It is law, but the burden of proof rested on you. You can't make a claim then tell *me* to prove it for you.
And you didn't answer the question in my very first post.

if your caught trying to kill yourself, your sent to the hospital on suicide watch, thats common sense.

I asked a simple question in the first post, didn't give an opinion or anything. what is your problem?

...What, exactly, do you propose we do to punish people who have killed themselves?

the point is not punishing someone who is already dead. I have no idea where you got that. It's punishing someone who attempts it. It's illegal, so that if someone is caught trying to kill themselves they can be hospitalized in an attempt to help them.

Personally, I don't care. You are the sole property of yourself. Do whatever floats your boat.

I think the point is, did you think it was right for someone to stop them? Because now they still want to kill themselves, but what if that person stopping them caused one or two of them to continue living instead.

Or should they have just been allowed to die the first time they tried

Depends. If one has a just reason for it, then yes, of course. Besides, even if the person in question didn't have a good readon for wanting to kill themselves, they still have the right to commit suicide. Their life, their choice. Sure, they have the right. But I wouldn't let them do it, either way.

Hypocritical of me as it is, I wouldn't let my friends, family or anyone kill themselves if I were there to stop it. I don't know why. Inate instinct to preserve life, I think? I'm very much convinced of the mindset that there's always hope, that there's always a better way. And I wouldn't want someone to take the chance of things getting better away from themselves by comitting suicide.

Anyway, it doesn't matter whether or not it's illegal. Suicide is one of those things you can't stop by outlawing it, because everyone knows that if you do it the right way, you're not going to have to face up to it and handle the consequences; you'll be dead, after all. What use is there in making a crime illegal of which the committers know they won't be there to do the time?

I believe you should be able to. I had a friend attempt suicide multiple times, and it was horrible. Nonetheless, I definitely think that she and others deserve the right to make that decision (though if I had listened to the signs I would have done whatever I could to prevent her from doing what she did).

I completely agree

[MarlaCorbin]

for everyone who voted that suicide should be allowed. If someone you loved tried to kill themselves, would you try to stop them? or would you stand there and let them die

Loving someone means letting them go. I've never been in the situation before, but I would hope if they've thought it over, I would not be so selfish as to make them live for my own personal happiness.

I think that you should not be stopped if it is your deesire to take your own life. No one really knows how bad you are suffering, no one else is in your head. Besides, you are not out to hurt anyone else, you want to be relieved. Its kind of like taking medicine if you are sick, only that the suffering is permanently gone.

I tried quite a few times to take my own life because i was hurting so much, and if you want something bad enough, you'll get it....

you wouldn't say, hey let me try and help you first, because once you make this decision, theres no going back? you'd just say ok go ahead?
