I was suicidal and I am SOOOOOOOO glad to be alive!!! I know this isn't always the case, but when it comes to suicide, I always think it's best to prevent. They can always try to kill themselves again later, but if you let them kill themselves now, they'll never have to chance to change their minds.
I also believe euthanasia should be legal in certain cases, and that's basically assisted suicide. Here's the breakdown.
Let's say you're over thirty-five, since that seems like a good, solid, stable, adult age, and in that whole long time you have found no reason to live. I'm, sorry for you, but you had a decent run of it, so sure, you can opt out of life.
Let's say you're over thirty-five and terminally ill. Suffering. Not a lot of hope for recovery. I'm sorry for you, really, but I understand that.
Over thirty-five and your spouse/child/best friend/parent died, and you have no one else to live for? Again, I'm sorry, but I understand.
It's when young people, such as teens and twenty-somethings, try to kill themselves that I will unequivocally intervene. And I have, several times. So far, my friends have all been glad that I kept them from making an impulsive and irreversible decision. We can talk about it again when we're old and sick.
Live long and prosper.
Is it normal that people prevent suicide?
