well, i dont think the goverment can really stop you if your determined enough.....
yeah but i meant legally  

 itd also cut the number of executed but failed attempts which often result in someone being fucked up but alive


Are you suggesting they help people kill themselves?

Tax money should not go to help losers end their life and bring no benefit to society.


well 'benefit' is subjective, and no they dont have to help but they should at least make it legal

Suicide is legal in the UK and has never been punished as a crime in the US, most states have repealed any laws that make suicide a illegal as well.

Oh god.. where do I start? How about, It's MY life, if I ever want to not wear a seat belt, or kill myself or w.e., it's MY life, why the FUCK should the government care?

being sent to a mental institution is probably worse than spending a night or two in jail

its being detained all the same anyway

it should be fully legal and nobody should have the right to detain you against your will

They shouldn't help you.  

 I think it's fine the way it is; they can't stop you right now.


legally, they can detain you for it

well its not like youre gonna go up to this insane assylum person and be like, "yo im thinking about killing myself" i mean, if someone was gonna do it, theyd just do it. the government has nothing to do with suicide.

no the police can stop you, 'arrest' you, and have them pick you up

I agree.  I do not advocate suicide, but this is a matter much like abortion and a person's basic right to refuse medical treatment: people should have the right to decide their own fate, regardless of the government's perception of their mental state.

Yes on the grounds that you should have the right to do whatever to yourself.

No on the grounds that there are suicidal people who at the time wish to die, but, later on and recovered, regret feeling like that and would rather live in the end.

but you cant accurately judge that in a person

there are those people, and there are some who arent like that

again, freedom includes the freedom to do dumb things and make bad decisions you would or will regret

then killing yourself because you've had a bad day would be acceptable? i know I've felt suicidal on some days then absolutely fine the next, and if the government *allowed* us to kill ourselves if we wanted to, we could be looking at a mass population wipeout.

There'd be a lot of paperwork and a 2 month period for you to decide. You'd need to get confronted with death over and over again.

yes it would be acceptable, freedom includes the freedom to fuck up, but obviously social problems to discourage people would be okay, just not detaining them against their will

are you talking about euthanasia or suicide?

suicide isn't a crime in the U.S or the U.K.
