So I have this theory on suicidal and self-harming folks

[The Beach Nazi]

Has anyone ever considered the possibility that people who self-harm or are suicidal have something genetically wrong with them and that suicide would be an automatic way of aborting their own problems from the collective gene pool?

[Song of the Century]

Yes, it may be a genetic predisposition, but there's no definite research. Usually it is caused by significant distress.

Helping people is generally a better thing than encouraging suicide.

Given enough stress on the norciceptors (biologically and figuratively) im sure everyone would kill themselves, however those you notice are ones with lower thresholds for whatever reason. Reasons which you yourself could very well have as well.

[CH1YO]

I'm sure lots of people have considered that possibility, it is however clear naivety.

The argument is nothing more than a tautology:

These people kill themselves.
Why do they do that?
Because they are genetically inferior.
Inferior how?
Because they kill themselves.

Eugenics is wrong!!!!!!! > sad

I don't cut or self harm.. and I am not suicidal.

Both my parents however are mentally ill.
(my life is just one big WTF)

I'm an only child because of egenics... WORST DECISION ANYONE HAS EVER MADE..

I usually blame all of my problems on eugenics, even if it really is my fault.

so yeah... I'm living proof eugenics is wrong..

Oh and FYI in my life I have met, befriended so many people who can be classified as mentally ill or something.. and I am happy I have met them because they are some of the most amazing people I ever met <3

so yeah.. ******** you...


BTW your probably a troll... but we both win because i can vent anger on this forum

No. You start to sound like my mom too who doesnt know s**t about genetics and says everything is genetic, even when its cultural or social.

Why have you cut socio-cultural in half? Is it a genetic predisposition?

I was more commenting on the decision to divide a unity.

How a person types is in part determined by genetic factors such as the number and length of fingers a person has to use and the presence of eyesight.

Have you ever considered that Depression is an illness just like any other?
I guess that means that everyone who gets sick is just the product of nature clearing the gene pool.

It isn't so why should it have?

[AliKat1988]

Someone needs to mention an important fact the OP might not have considered. Most self injurers do not kill themselves from the injury process or even intend to. They end up with a lot of scars and and bruises, but for the most part they survive. How would behaviors that rarely cause severe/irreparable damage in the long run be a means of removing yourself from the gene pool?

In regards to suicide, at least in the US, old people who cannot have kids are some of the most successful when they attempt it and people in their forties and fifties (who have probably had kids already) have the most successful suicides of any age range. Teens, children, and young adults who have the most reproductive potential have the lowest successful suicide rate of any age group. Even the total number of young people who successfully complete their suicides is only higher than old people who make up a significantly smaller (over 5 million fewer people) part of the population. If suicide is supposed to remove people from the gene pool, it is not very good about ensuring success at the right time. This is aside from the logical fallacies involved in the theory and its misconceptions about evolution, genetics, and human behavior.
