Do you think that sometimes suicide is the right thing to do?

No, there are always better steps to take

I'm of the opinion that there's always another way. No soup gets eaten as hot as it is when it was cooked.

Meaning: give it a bit of time, a rethink, another look at all the options and there's probably a way out. The question is only if the person in question is mentally strong enough to follow it.

If someone is in excruciating pain, I can understand them not wanting to carry on.....that isn't living and I feel they are deserved of a way out

Yes. I strongly believe in euthanasia for the terminally ill and elderly. With other people I don’t know if it’s ‘right’ but I won’t judge them for it.

Agree with you, Aliens

No, because you pass the pain in to someone else

So couldn't you then blame your parents of passing pain onto you by having you in the first place?

I think the wrong thing to do is to invisibilize emotional health until it taints statistics.

We can't judge suicide itself, we don't know what did that person go through, what did they feel, what kind of help was available/offered/asked for, which were their responsabilities, future perspectives...

My general stand is if I'm not going to care for their well being along the way, I won't judge them after there's nothing more to do.

No. I think it’s selfish. Each day is a new chance to change your circumstances. Things get better, there are always other options.

People who commit suicide are pretty strong though. They are not weak like they appear. It takes a lot of guts to end your own life. It’s just unfortunate that this is an option they choose. It’s so selfish.

The loved ones you left behind hurt and don’t understand why you would do something like that.

Only if its obvious living is by far the worst choice. But in general I am totally against it.

But your life is yours. You don't live your life for your loved ones. It's selfish of you to expect a family member to live in pain bc of how you'd feel if they ended their life. No one asks you if you want to be born; we are born alone, we die alone. That's about it.

Nobody likes seeing their loved ones suffer, be it through pain or suicide, but don't make it about you. Those are your feelings, you deal with them..
