Should suicide be legal? This is a question that has been asked many times and people have strong opinion on it often.
I believe that suicide should be legal. I have thought about this topic thoroughly and want to share the reasons with the NB community.

In my opinion everyone should have the right to suicide or to live, I do not think It's fair to force or to tell someone to keep living when they truly do not want to. A good example that I thought when it comes to suicide is this:

Imagine there is a man, a man that feels extreme physical pain everyday, pain to the point where it's really just unbearable.Now imagine that there are people around him that keep telling him to endure it because it's the "right thing" or because it's "cowardly" to suicide.The truth of the matter is that not everyone can endure physical pain, It's just too much for some people and they can't change it.Is it right to tell them to do something that they just can not do?

Now let's switch the physical pain with mental pain.There are people that just are in constant depression and mental stress and torment every second of their lives, just because you and I may have over come something does not mean that that person can do it as well, so why get in the way and tell him to do otherwise?

What is the reason that you want someone to not suicide? Is it because you want them to live? Is it because you want them to be happy? You must understand that this is a very selfish reason because It's not your life to begin with,you are trying to control something that is not yours.How will it affect you if someone suicides? Will you be sad that they left you? Are YOU truly happy knowing that someone else is living in tournament every day just because you will be sad if they go?

At the end of the day we all have our lives, most of us sleep in comfortable beds and are mentally stable, It's easy to tell someone to go through something when you don't have to go through the daily torturer.Talk is cheap, when you switch the roles things become a lot harder.

For a lot of people, It's a forced march through hell and I think suicide is freedom, the freedom to do whatever you like with the one thing you TRULY own... life. Stopping someone from LIVING or Suiciding is you trying to take that one thing everyone is given when they are born, that one thing that only they own.

Uhh... who the **** cares? Legal, illegal, they're dead. Doesn't matter either way.

How many people are actually going to reconsider killing themselves just because it's against the law...?

You answered your own question with the last paragraph :p

As to it being considered to be made illegal is as ludicrous as the banning of the medicinal plant called hemp/marijuana. < Not sure if sentence structure on-point butt fk it.

I think medically induced suicide should be legal for people who no longer want to deal with severe conditions.

As for suicide for things like depression, extreme stress, long-term financial crises, etc., idk. I don't think something like that should have a status as "legal" or "illegal." Like, you don't apply the terms legal or illegal to being able to step on a crack, or shave your head, or jump up and down in front of a mirror. It's kinda just...something you can do. And I think suicide is, ultimately, one of those things.

Are you referring to Assisted Suicide in the Bold? Or patients lying in bed and taking pills by themselves to kill themselves?

I honestly don't care, legal or not the changes would be little to none as the victims are going to kill themselves anyway. If anything it might help with overpopulation.(I know, I sound super ****ed up but I doubt it'd work, On average, 5-7 people are born per second)

Well, I wanted to pick out the best arguments, but all of that is important and 'best'.
I agree, suicide should be 'legal'. Or better said: Anyone should have the freedom to decide about his/her own life, without someone else interfering or stopping the person.

It's not your life to begin with,you are trying to control something that is not yours.How will it affect you if someone suicides? Will you be sad that they left you? Are YOU truly happy knowing that someone else is living in tournament every day just because you will be sad if they go?
People are just selfish as ****.

"Bruhh, you have to live!!!!"
"Why?"
"Just because!! And because I don't care what you want, but I/we will miss you!!"

Screw these hypocrites.

People sometimes fail or get stopped/caught, then they get in trouble because It is illegal! ^^

Haha really?

If they want to kill themself, they will do it after they get caught. It's just a matter of time.

Why would someone who wants to commit suicide care if it's legal or not? They would be dead either way.
