[Debate] Regulated Suicide

[Donald J Trump]

Regulated suicide refers to the act of receiving assistance when you believe you should end your life through a medical team.Regulated suicide will be monitored closely and legally to ensure everything runs smoothly.Regulated suicide patients that are below a certain age and do not suffer from a physical illness will be forced to go through various therapy sessions before finally deciding if they want to carry on with ending their life. Here is my argument for why we should have this system put in place.

Spoiler

I believe that regulated suicide could save and help more people than harm. One of the rules to regulated suicide would be to attend anti-suicide courses and get psychological assistance if the reason for their suicide is mental. I believe that this would assist many people in making the correct decision and could quite possibly save thousands of lives.The people that wish to die in a clean non-complicated way without hurting the public will be motivated to go through this process with "clean" suicide being their reward. However, on the way to their rewards I believe that many will be changed and helped, overall decreasing the suicide numbers. Those who could not be helped will end their life with dignity and not an animalistic way like hanging and stabbing themselves with kitchen knives.


Another reason I believe regulated suicide should be legal is because when the person seeking to die does not have a system to go through, they often commit to a public death which often traumatize and leaves many people around them scarred for life. Whether it is by-passer or the train driver they often feel guilty and it remains a part of their life until the day they die which can cause many psychological problems.Even with the indoor cases, family members find themselves in terrible positions after discovering their loved ones hanging from the ceiling or in a pool of blood. Legalising regulated suicide would prevent many of these cases as you would end many random suicide discoveries and public suicides.

Another reason why I am for regulated suicide is because it often just complicates and doesn’t prevent people from suicide. If a person wants to suicide, they will do it and there are not many that can stop that. I think preventing them from taking the right course to achieve their goals makes their process more painful as the fashion which it is done in is often not the best. It also wastes a tremendous amount of time. One way being that after a lot of suicides cases, the police get involved in investigating the situation and end up covering a suicide case when they could be looking at an active case that can be prevented or helped.


In conclusion:

If we move forward as we are right now then there are going to be more and more instances of people killing themselves and scarring innocent lives. If we were to make regulated suicide available, the people that want to suicide in a clean manner would have to go through some sessions before being allowed so it could decrease the numbers of suicide.If everything fails and their reasons are valid, It can be conducted in a controlled way with the least harm. By not making regulated suicide available, you're not preventing suicide, you're only making it harder,literally more painful and gross for others.Suicide is something that seems to touch most people one way or another, I do not think we can move forward with current system as it's becoming so common and not many things are being done about it.

What are your opinions on if regulated suicide should be allowed? Do you have any counter arguments as to why it shouldn't be?

 

[Lyke]

No, it shouldn't be allowed

 

[Donald J Trump]

No, it shouldn't be allowed

Your comment is irrelevant as no counter argument was included.

 

[Оdin]

It shouldn't be allowed. Why? Because I say it shouldn't be allowed.

 

[Punk Hazard]

I read this as regurgitated suicide like four damn times.

Nice one, dumbass.

 

[LustyLover]

You mean Euthanasia? Yes, I absolutely think people should have the right to it.

 

[Angelic.]

Yes...

 

[Sagebee]

I thought the correct terminology is mercy killing

 

[Chikombo]

You bring up good points. It seems kinda horrible though.

 

[The Work]

Suicide is not the answer to a problem.

 

[Marin]

As a christian I am inclined to answer that as a "no".

 

[YowYan]

As a christian I am inclined to answer that as a "no".

Hmm.. It's an individual decision that effects only the individual itself. Would you use your personal beliefs to deny, maybe prevent others from being able to make that decision for themselves?

In my opinion, if you want to commit suicide you can do it without 'official' assistance. So if euthanasia is implemented in place it isn't already, it really doesn't matter much.

Suicidal people. They piss me off. Wasting their kidneys while others need them.

 

[Punk Hazard]

Suicidal people. They piss me off. Wasting their kidneys while others need them.

But now that they're dead, the kidneys can be donated to these people so?

 

[ArabianLuffy]

But now that they're dead, the kidneys can be donated to these people so?

Really? Well, they better be in good condition. And not just kidneys, eyes, limbs, heart. Whatever spare-part. :v

Suicidal ideation, especially in the non-elderly, is usually comorbid with mental disorders, typically severe depression. And it is well established in medicine that many mental disorders are neurological in nature – their pathophysiology may involve, for example, abnormalities in the various neurotransmitter systems (e.g. dopamine, serotonin). This is why antidepressant drugs which alter neurotransmitter distribution and function are effective in treating many of these mental disorders.

Now, this is not to say that there are no environmental factors at play but some people are genetically predisposed to these disorders, some more than others – which is why some people are ‘cured’ by a short duration of antidepressant use, what we call ‘responders’ in medicine, while others become dependent on them for years, if not a lifetime, whilst still for others even these drugs have no effect, the so called non-responders. With those people, it’s not simply a matter of lifestyle choices, attitudes or whatever because they may literally be neurobiologically and genetically predisposed to e.g. bouts of severe depression. I empathize with this sub-population insofar as believing that the state should do whatever it can to make their lives easier, including the prospects of permanent disability benefits.

Those who are suffering from an incurable and miserable disease are a different matter. There is nothing we can do about e.g. Alzheimer’s disease at this point in time – if people with Alzheimer’s wish to end their life rather than slowly, painfully and irreversibly turn into a vegetable before typically dying shortly after anyway, then that should be an option.

 

[Kishi Uzumaki]

It will be choosing the easy way out though i would let that person decide what they want if they feel their life is worthless and they feel they can't make it worthy enough to go living their life till nature decides it's their time to die .

I think you make great points and want to point out that "incurable" diseases do not only come in a physical form but also mental. Drugs,therapy and attempts cost money for the person in need which many do not have the access to. Then there are some that nothing seems to help, if drugs and therapy was an absolute answer then we wouldn't have these problems but they're not. I think It's fair to let someone end their incurable mental suffering (of course after attempts of curing). I don't think the visibility of the "pain" or the illness should decrease its importance as depression can be just as painful and exhausting as any physical condition.

Many question it based on ethics others fear it could be miss used. But it is not for depressed highschool kids, people dont see it is not for depressed high school kids. You can find about people who were exposed to radiation, got raped and trauma made them vegatative and incurable diseases kept alive for months to years because state refused to euthanize them, courts denied to give permission. It is mostly because narrow minded retards muh religion or those ****ing judges fearing to make a radical decision.
