Here's another interesting topic. Should people be allowed to kill themselves if they so wish? Give reasons for your answers.

If you speak of suicide with no regards to euthanasia...
Well, is it wrong to kill somebody? To force their life away from them? Yes, I would take it most people would think such a thing.
So, if someone is so despondent and miserable that they wish to to die, it is wrong to force them to live. Let them die if they will.
In many cases of suicidal tendencies, one can only help oneself. One can seek help from others, only if they are so determined to do it. If they will not, what can anyone else do about it?
Sure, it is a fact that seeing past the woe there may be still a path to walk, and anyone who might have went through it could say, ''What if I really killed myself that day?''.
But others should not interfere, because you cannot tell someone what to think, how to be positive and what will be. Not considering the way true suicidal folk may feel.
I know this is not how the world works, but in my opinion, they should be left to their own actions.
No, I am not saying not to help or ignore someone you might know in such a position...of course we should try to help them. But in the end, the decision should be theirs.
Too many things to consider, though..I suppose.
Does this person have a mental disability? Will he or she hurt others by taking their life? (Throwing themselves from a building into traffic, for example.)
You simply cannot ignore such things.
I suppose this is why suicide is discouraged, for in the true scheme of things, not many people care about anyone.
Suicide is an ill subject because people do not wish to see it, they do not wish to acknowledge the problems of our society. They do not help because they actually care. They attempt and set things straight for the good of their environment.
I suppose we cannot blame society for this, however. If it is true.
But my point here, mainly, was that since people really cannot care...then it is not for them to say how those who would take their lives should do. Leave them be, if your words given to them are false.
Looking at it, it is indeed a rather stupid opinion, I am sure most people would deny apathy towards assistance, but it is what I believe.
Besides, some people, even if they fail to kill themselves, will not find any happiness or relief for the rest of their lives.
