Is it normal to believe suicide is sometimes the answer?

Makes sense to me. Most suicide cases are of people whose problems were temporary but sometimes things just wont get better. Some examples I can think of are life in prison sentences, severe debilitating health problems that take away any enjoyment in life, or having an inevitable fate worse than death. However with things like breakups, loss of employment or possessions and death of someone close to you, life should go on and the future is still unknown.

Yes. You have to die at some time anyway.

When it comes to guilt over something that person has done, maybe you are right. I mean, no one will ever take away what has already been done. Depending on what it is, sometimes death may be the answer. Still, I'm not so sure.

There is only one answer.

You were abducted by aliens.

Definitely not. I don't understand how people can override their instinct to survive and go through with such a tragic, yet pitiful form of dying.

My life is my property and I didn't choose to be born. I had no say in how I came to live and anti-suicide crusaders want to have a say in how and when I exit as well.

The game of life is hard to play
I'm gonna lose it anyway
The losing card I'll someday lay
so this is all I have to say.
suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
and I can take or leave it if I please.

Sure, why not?

Jains, Buddhists, and people on hunger strikes, are known to do it. I think, oh, there's so many people on the Earth, why not? Is that cruel?

I also think suicide, shouldn't be looked at purely from a Christian/conservative "right to life/value of life" perspective. I think there are just reasons. And, well, why should we stop anyone?

On the other hand... the only thing we have, that we know of, is now. And wanting someone to stick around, and enjoy it, that's noble too, in a more more sappy awwwww kinda way.

If i had a gun i would kill myself, you die anyway and afterwords your life was nothing no matter what you did, memorys erased..perception turns void, people always say it would be like nothing, but how can a dead brain perceive nothing?

But i always realize im better off living it out, whats the worse that can happen

Be the next Jack Kevorkian.

I'm going to have to disagree, as last week a friend of mine committed suicide, and I don't see it as viable option of dealing with problems.

Go for it.

It's pretty well documented that suicide pills are a part of many spy agency's playbooks, their agents preferring to kill themselves rather than risk capture, torture and possible betrayal.

I'm not sure. All I know is that it sounds very patronising and parentalistic when someone tells someone who wants to kill themself saying that "suicide is never the answer" when they have no understanding of the situation. Voluntary euthanasia should definitely be legal and acceptable though, because in those cases there really is no hope for the person and to allow them the choice to die painlessly and at the time of their choosing that would be nothing but compassionate.

Yes. Sometimes people don't want to live anymore, they genuinely see no end to their problems. But what about things like, euthanasia? or Assisted Suicide, 'the right to die' I don't think people will ever agree when it comes to suicide.

There have been situations in my past where I started contemplating suicide. I never got close to doing it but I pondered, "What about this situation would be different or better if I just disappeared"? Honestly, I still don't know weather it's right or wrong. I think for me it depends on if you're leaving anyone behind. If there are people that love you then you should stay alive and endure if only for them. If there is absolutely no one in the world that would care if you were gone, and you were miserable, then maybe it's ok. I believe that there is ALWAYS someone out there that cares for you though. You can find love from the most unlikely people.
