[Discussion] When is it okay to kill yourself?
- Thread starter Tomoko Kuroki

It's never ok to kill yourself because you never know what the future might bring that you could miss out on. For example, that kid who killed himself because Itachi died will never know that Itachi came back through Edo Tensei and wanted to die by Sasuke's hand and would die anyway from an illness. Ain't that some shit.

It's a part of my job to hospitalize suicidal people. Acute psychiatric hospitalization is a band-aid, but effective nonetheless. Suicide is usually an irrational decision made by a person who feels desperate or hopeless (and statistically intoxicated; about 50%-60% of suicides are during onset of intoxication). As our stresses wax and wane so do the feelings of desperation and hopelessness, and in turn suicidality. So I do not condone suicide in most cases as a rational and viable option.
The exception for me is during end of life choices. When a person is terminal and in pain from an illness that will ultimately claim their life, and that said person has made a logical and rational decision to humanely take their life, I do not see any ethical or moral objections.

That sucks though, most people aren't in a position where an outsider would think they made a wise choice. People kill themselves over stupid stuff like the grades they got. How would you feel if a family member decided to commit suicide? Unless you're a sociopath, you would be extremely hurt by it. That's the other thing, people who kill themselves are too absorbed in their own problems and feelings to see that life in most cases isn't nearly as bad as their perspective colors it.

if you had to choose between lives of the one you loves most and you then it's okay but do that called killing oneself ?

To be totally serious, only in cases where you know for sure that you're going to die soon anyway, probably in a worse manner. If you're old, terminally ill, and a vegetable, you're practically dead already and not even "living" anymore. Also, if for some reason you know you're gonna be, god forbid, tortured to death. Just some examples.
