No. If the said person was really in that much pain then I would respect them for that.

Not at all. If someone tries to commit suicide then they're obviously not well. They just need help. Well for most cases anyway.

ok i dont think it is selfish because if a person is suffering a lot (not psychically but mentally) then they should be allowed to die
also i think it is really cruel for people to say it is selfish |

I believe so yes. The thoughts of others are not taken into account. I know it can arise from mental health issues, and someone has to be very desperate to do so, but for the whole it is the easy way out, and family and friends have to live with that for the rest of their lives.

Threatening to do it without no real intention is selfish..people who desperately need help and will do it, no
It's selfish as in friends and family having to cope with it all but if the person doesn't have any relatives (and that's probably a main reason why they've done it) then no, itisn't |

If someone is obviously in pain for their every waking moment then obviously they should be allowed to choose whether or not they want to pull the plug on themselves. It is their body after all.

Remembering Kerry

It would seem to be I guess but I personally think it must take as much courage to do it as it would to step back from it,especially when your mind is in turmoil, you are likely an emotional mess, you are wrecked from likely not sleeping at all and not eating right too.
So I would never judge someone who commits suicide, all I do know is I have come across people who really appeared to want to do it, who planned it carefully and barely raised any suspicion that they were going to. That was learned after they had tried to, and all pointers pointed to that they were serious about it and went about in a full way. however they were found in time, mostly by accident, and once the right care and help was there, most are really happy they were saved and didn't succeed. I personally wouldn't say selfish in the full meaning of the word but that can be how it is perceived by family, friends and others when it happens. |

i think its awful that people even consider the feelings of friends/relatives
like if one persons suffering is so great that they literally cannot cope and want to die i actually think its more selfish for people to say 'oh but think about your friends/family' etc i kinda think its like people with terminal illnesses that want to die sometimes mental illness is just as bad |

Scott, this is like the first time you've actually engaged yourself in a serious debate

That's what he just did. He said I think...he didn't 'judge others based on their beliefs', as you put it.

Yes, but then so is expecting your depressed relative/friend/loved one to keep living if they want to end it all.

As I said, he himself has said numerous times throughout this thread the phrase 'I think' - which suggests that he is offering his opinion. Take the hint.

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

I wasn't having a go - I just pointed out that there's no need repeatedly telling Scott that's just his opinion when that's exactly what he said.
