I'm tired of people saying suicide should be legal. It affects many people, and because it's bad, it should be illegal. We also know that people who do it never are in the right mind, because random people and incompetent hacks with bullshit degrees say so.

Discuss.

It is illegal. But if you succeed, why the hell would it matter?


-- Posted by BeautifulxLiar at 4:32 pm on Sep. 4, 2008

uhh, correct me if im wrong but i think it is...

how can it be illegal by the time u commit the crime ur already dead so u cant really be charged?


-- Posted by the raven at 4:32 pm on Sep. 4, 2008

Absolutely not. A person has a right to live according to the constitution, they should have every right to death.

How can suicide be illegal? If I kill myself or something what is the law gonna do to me? Sentence me to life in prison? Capital punishment?


-- Posted by Boondox at 4:32 pm on Sep. 4, 2008

wtf
people are going to kill theirselves anyways
if its illegal it wouldnt matter to them, they'd be dead anyways


-- Posted by Chevy Jackson at 4:32 pm on Sep. 4, 2008

It is illegal. And it's punishable by death.


-- Posted by Cawhax at 4:33 pm on Sep. 4, 2008

I'm sorry, if someone commited suicide are they going to be arrest them?

Because that makes no sense.


-- Posted by Aero360 at 4:33 pm on Sep. 4, 2008

Wwhat the hell can they do to you after suicide?  Throw your corpse in jail?


-- Posted by Chasey at 4:33 pm on Sep. 4, 2008

It is illegal already, isn't it ? I know assisted suicide is illegal.. But you can't arrest someone who's dead, right ?

Or then again, people get saved from suicide. I highly doubt the trauma of jail will make them feel any better. They do need specialist help, you can't just throw them in jail for trying to end their depression and presume they'll come out perfectly happy and aware of where they went wrong.

And as punishment, we hand their bodies over to the local necrophiliac.

No resting in peace for those filthy criminals.


-- Posted by dancetillyadrop at 4:33 pm on Sep. 4, 2008

It is illegal but, seriously, what are they gonna do, put a dead person in jail?


-- Posted by Fauna at 4:33 pm on Sep. 4, 2008

it's not illegal, to people saying it is. well, not in america, australia or england.


-- Posted by EmelieAshly at 4:33 pm on Sep. 4, 2008

A person should have the right to do whatever the fuck they want to do with their life, that includes ending it.

Making it illegal is kinda silly..what are they going to do, put the dead body in jail?

But, the government shouldn't endorse bad behavior.

I say that there's no absolute answer for anything. That is all.

It's a very personal thing and it affects many people, but there are so many different situations and predicaments in the world, that we can't throw them all into one big bin. And criminalizing it doesn't make much of a difference, as far as I can tell.

took the words right out of my mouth

If someone wants to die then I mean yea try to stop them but if they fuck up it's ridiculous that they're taken into custody and are placed in a mental hospital. Who are they to decide this person should live? Someone trying to kill themselves knows their lives a hell of a lot more than any judge or doctor.


-- Posted by XxPaperFlowersxX at 4:34 pm on Sep. 4, 2008

Why should it be illegal if the person succeeds? It's not like you can punish them.


-- Posted by lsw12 at 4:35 pm on Sep. 4, 2008

well they really cant do anything if someone does cuz the would be dead but if u r thinking about it u should try to prevent it

there's a lot of "bad behaviour" that the government doesn't criminalize, that doesn't mean they 'endorse' it.


-- Posted by anc8469 at 4:36 pm on Sep. 4, 2008

Suicide is illegal. People who commit suicide though have mental/emotional problems and without help there's nothing you can do about it. What are they going to do put them in jail for trying to kill themselves? Thats not going to help anything. Instead they will get you the help you need. If that means checking you into a pychiatric hospital. Thats what they usually do.
