Do I Have The Right To Die?

Not open for further replies.
The only place where i think right to die is justified is incase the person is suffering immense physical torture or is about to die due to a particular incurable sickness.For the rest of the cases my views are as follows:

1.If you are in comma or reduced to a "vegetable", you are not feeling any pain or misery. The sole misery is that of your friends/relatives and just to ease that you cannot kill the person.

2.Mental depression is extremely curable, all you need is some time and aid from a few good humans. Everyone in depression finds their problems to be the biggest in the world.

lol he's techboi, isn't that a reason enough :bleh:

Seriously, we need to discourage such threads as they are destroying the essence of a technical forum even if this is a general section. Speaking to a tech forum, I see funny comments on the hardware section everyday. It is funny at first, but it is seriously annoying. If this sample has such problems, he's better off with a psychologist. Its about time people start reporting about threadcrapping as well.
 
True emotional suffering can't be cured with any kind of anti-depressants. I can show you live example(s) if you want. And rest assured, they are at least as bad as the worst form of physical suffering you can imagine. Never make the mistake of judging people's suffering, it is something very personal. I made that mistake and regret it each second of my life.

And I am not too sure as to why I exactly posted this thread. It is probably not going to be of any consequence. It is just a way of expressing myself. It is something I think about very often.

If its a numbers game you want to play, you have to also consider the amount saved :)

For every one lost, how many are saved ?

I don't dispute that its possible to understand true emotional suffering, whats in question is whether they can be helped.
 
Not everybody can be helped. What if somebody can't be helped? What if death is the only solution?

He can be all loving but if he genuinely believes that he can eliminate more of his suffering than the little be would bestow on others. Then what is the point not letting him have his way?

Well that's what others are saying, even if someone may deserve to die :P , what about others who don't? you can't control this/judge this/hack even no one can take the right decision(it includes the person suffering as well).

Those who are to die are gonna die anyway, In today's scenario there are medicines to get rid of the Physical pain, others can be tolerated, In real if the pain is intolerable for sometime, you won't be conscious for long(well some exceptions are there, but who is one to decide?).

One who really wants to live for just one more day will suffer hell still he will be happy in the end, though it is mainly metal suffering in most of the cases.
 
well that's your answer. 'cause in this forum i don't see any one suffering to death :) .. you know what would be the best place/person to ask the same question, I still hope that you will get the same answer.

And you say this only because you think everyone leads a happy life but you.

Obviously, my friend, you have gone through something terrible. Whenever you see someone smile or laugh you think they are happy, and will be happy for the rest of their life. But god knows what enmity life has with you that you cannot have the same happiness. Fact of the matter is, you do not know how many tears someone has shed to have a reason to smile today. Nor do you know when and how many tears will come in the near future who laugh so carefree today.

Everyone has up's and down's my friend. Some have small but many, others have big but few. But what you should always remember, the only reason there is down, is because there is also an up.

Buckle up buddy, life is only as miserable as you want it to be.
 
dude, if you are thinking about things like contemplating suicide and you are posting it on a forum, please dont. This is in no way will answer any of of your questions.

Kindly approach a psychotherapist or someone in your family that you can confide in.
 
In the course of life sometimes one may feel minor stutterings and random experiences of lagging but imho it should not weaken one's resolve. One must feed more positive energy to his inner self and I'm sure the extra power from within will help smoothout the situation :)
 
Well the law is not stopping you from dying, its only going to punish people for attempting to kill/murder or acting as an accomplice in such an act regardless of whether the victims are they themselves. The victim is not being punished, its the one who attempted to murder or anyone who helped in that that is going to be pushed. I do not see anything wrong in that.

If you take poison and die, no ones punishing you. Both the victim and the killer are dead. If you take poison and survive, then you are going to be punished for trying attempting to murder a human being. Similarly if you are sick and wish to die, then die by all means, but if someone helps you kill yourself, then he sure is gonna be punished since he is an accomplice in the murder of a human being. Why should rules be different just because you yourself are the victim.

As far as I am concerned, anyone who's weak enough to look at suicide/death as a solution to what ever problems they are having does not really deserve having lived at all. And I am saying this despite having seen a lot of sickness, pain and suffering in and around my family and friends.

+1 if it is so, well I don't think it is like that. 'cause if it is like that then you are obviously at the wrong place.
