I don't think so, to just flippantly label someone selfish for doing it is to show no regard for their state of mind and what they must be going through

[arista]

"is suicide selfish"



Yes it is
when they go on a Train Line
that wrecks the whole day
and is not fair on Female Drivers.

It's extremely selfish

[Livia]

If someone decides to end their life, it's selfish not to respect their decision.

[Ninastar]

yes and no. I think it entirely depends on the circumstance.

like for example, a year 7 in my area ended his life this week because of bullying. It sickens me that it happened to someone that young. I don't believe that he would have thought things through properly. But for someone to do something that drastic at that age, I think it just shows that it's not just a decision that you make because you're 'fed up'. I think there is so much more to it.

I agree. There are so many different situations that can trigger something like this and so many scenarios. I have different views on euthansia too. My replies earlier were a bit one dimensional as to how I was thinking when there are many reasons for people doing so, although I don't necessarily think it's selfish not to respect someones decision as put before. We cannot always agree with other peoples actions. They may not affect us, but other people. I do not think that is necessarily selfish either.

Yeah I totally agree. I don't think it's right to say someone's opinion is 'wrong'. It's something that even people who have had to deal with it themselves struggle to understand. It's not as simple as 'oh it's selfish, what about family members' in my opinion

It's not simple at all. And it can leave a lot of questions left unanswered. A whole lot of emotions. Anger, guilt, frustration, and sorrow to name but a few. Some questions may never be answered.

[Mystic Mock]

I think it's cowardly, but I have never felt suicidal before so im probably being harsh but that's how I see it, afterall the person is leaving someone behind 9 times out of 10.

[Mystic Mock]

Yeah im sorry about you losing your Uncle bizzareCharisma.

[Mrluvaluva]

Great debate Scott. Your points were really interesting.

[CharlieO]

I dont think so

[fruit_cake]

It depends on who they leave behind, somebody with children seems to me to be a very selfish thing to do but then again without knowing what it's like to be them who really knows.

[Redway]

All great, mature responses on this thread and I'm so sorry to hear about your loss, BizarreCharisma. It just goes to show that nobody is in any position to call someone selfish like that.

No I don't think so. People have the right to do what they want with their lives. If they have got to a point where they want to kill themselves then they've obviously explored avenues and there must be something seriously wrong.

A report on a LWT London Tube Docu
had women Train Drivers that had " One Under"
and after the event
lost the nerve to drive a train alone again.


So yes it destroys their future job


All because of a Selfish "One Under"
thats the term they use for the dead on the track.

[Kizzy]

I remember a thread like this....It was closed.
Unless you choose to throw yourself into incoming traffic risking others then no.

[thesheriff443]

its a two way street tell someone who is going to die from cancer at a young age and they would say you are selfish
dyeing is easy its living thats hard!
if you take your own life beacuse you are in debt and you cant face telling your wife and kids then you are a selfish bastard

wise words for any one

when you have tryed everything the last thing you try is again!

[Ammi]

..if you are so unhappy/depressed that you want to end your life then technically it is selfish as I think you are only capable of thinking about yourself and how desperate you feel..but I don't think it's the right of others to judge you for that..
...but I guess if it's a close relative or someone you love dearly then you may feel that perhaps the person could have sought help/medication etc and that it's possible it could have been prevented..there must be a huge sense of guilt too that you were unaware of how unhappy or desperate they were

[Tom4784]

I go back and forth on this issue, it depends on the circumstances. If there's a terminal illness involved then I sympathise but if it's not for health reasons and you have family and friends that love you then I think it's definitely a little selfish since you're just passing your pain and anguish onto the people you care about. If you don't feel as though you can't live for yourself then at least live for the people that love you.
