johnydon22:It depends sha, though it's true that intelligent and more matured minds have a better grasp of life and know that all is ultimately pointless and vanity. When our earth eventually collapses into the sun, what will be use of all of human endeavours? In developed society with great but "immature" minds, there is a high pressure to succeed academically and get the good life. Maybe that's what mainly contributes to suicide. I stand to be corrected. 2 Likes |

Martinez19:Funny enough, I disagree that "People should have the right". That statement is just odd since it implies a right someone has to give to one as opposed to a right one already has. More importantly though, the issue raises uglies where assisted life ending is concerned. Assisted life ending, or assisted dying, as it's called, is when a person is so incapable of ending their life that they need help. It is illegal in UK so some people go off to Sweden for it. The problem with it is that the vulnerable could be killed off and the killer says they were asked to. The few instances where a partner has gone to Sweden to assist however, they have not been prosecuted on return. On a personal note, ma, who is so active, is so afraid of pain and being in a vegetative state that years ago she asked me to help her die if she ever got in that state. I strongly informed her that she better do what she has to do before she can't kill herself. I, buda, would find it difficult to go on living knowing I killed ma! Pa, on the other hand, having had enough at close to a hundred managed to check out all by himself. I was with him his last two years which kept him alive longer than otherwise, but as soon as I returned to UK and he knew I was not returning soon, he refused food and checked out. He was very practical about it and I knew he would so I never told him I was coming back to UK. But I was ill at the time, paralysed waist down, wasting away and trying to ensure I wasn't checked out myself! Pa, knowing him, would say he was sacrificing his life for mine. |

budaatum:do we come with an inherent right or are all our rights granted to us by an authority? (Because I don't understand this statement) |

johnydon22:Great = highly intelligent with impressive IQ. Immature = not having enough grasp of life and what's really important and being heavily caught up in the vanities of human life. @bold That's bad. So one of the very few, if not the only, fountain of life in the universe won't last permanently? |

Readwarn:who can put the dead on trials? But that should not give us the liberty. My answer is still no anyway.... Even when life is at its worst, it is still better than putting end to it. Because there is always something to look forward to, even if those things can seem small and ordinary sometimes. Most of those who wants to end their life lacks perspective, and most are intensely melodramatic about the scope of their problems. Almost every problem has a solution, and if you haven’t found one, you aren’t looking hard enough. Are you born out of your own will? NO why should you have the right to end it? You are human being remmeber?

johnydon22:Well, just think about it. Who's permission do I need to kill myself? A right, I would think, is something society agrees to confer on one. Society has no say however in whether I terminate my life or not. Society can confer a right to life though by ensuring I am kept alive by providing healthcare. So, yes, granted by an authority would be correct. |

Yeah, the right to die should be made legal |
Re: Should People Have The Right To Kill Themselves? by johnydon22(m): 11:13am On Dec 23, 2018 |
ralphyoung123:But if you try and fail you will in fact be prosecuted. That is where the legality comes in. It is not exactly that easy to commit suicide. You may misjudge the thrust of the knife, get caught while still suffocating from hanging etc. |
Re: Should People Have The Right To Kill Themselves? by LordReed(m): 12:59pm On Dec 23, 2018 |
I personal don't think it helps to consider this as a legal problem, conversely I do think attempted suicide should be decriminalised, then help/counseling be a matter of policy so that those who contemplate it would have a place to go to seek help. Pressed on the issue I would say people should have the right. Better to go with dignity than to fall to your inner demons. 2 Likes 1 Share |

vaxx:Mehn, dat is some serious shiiiit in my culture. If someone commits suicide in place, fresh palm fronts are tight in front of his or her compound signifying 'Everyone keep off'. The family becomes an anathema. Anyone who Lives to see what happens to family members and still goes ahead to commit suicide in my place has some serious problem. Since my life, i have known only of one suicide case in my village and was a non-indigene. Even at that, the fresh palm front were tight at the compound he lived. Everyone quickly moved out of there, regarding the place as cursed. The way it's talked abt will scare even the already dead. |
