[quote:Anonymous Coward 29909197:MV8yMDc5NTk0XzM1MDQ1MjI3Xzg0OUEwREMx] [quote:Anonymous Coward 20672383:MV8yMDc5NTk0X0ZCNzExRjRB] Don't humans have a right to choose whether this life is for them or not. Why keep them alive only for them to become depressed and start hurting others who actually want to live? [/quote] Suicide is not illegal, though quite rightly assisting someone to do so is. However if it is shown that the assistance was justifiable rarely will a court punish a person further than a hearing. The only time suicide is acceptable is when a person is chronically irreversibly ill in great pain or indignity. A person who is mentally imbalanced whether temporarily or permanently requires support. Suicidal thoughts are perfectly normal and should be followed by "what's the hurry?" There is absolutely no hurry to end life - life is short enough as it is. One might as well sick around for a bit and see what happens. When a person is in very low spirit, there is only one way to go, and that is up so stick around for a bit! [/quote]

Anyone have good reasons?
