It is the most selfish act imaginable.

They choose to end their own personal suffering while simultaneously causing anguish and despair in countless others.

The only ethical difficulty would be if they had a severe progressive terminal illness. That has some merit although I still disagree with suicide.

Spare us all the "what about how they feel?" Your feelings are just that. Feelings. Not reality. Not facts. Just emotional underpinnings swept away with human sentiment.

Have courage. Have character. Chose to live and to be a blessing to others.

Have empathy. Have understanding. Choose to relate to your fellow man instead of being sanctimonious on the internet.

I used to think like you then I had someone close to me battle depression. Until you go through the depths and despair that someone suffering from depression goes through, you really can't judge.

these are the thinkings of a (somewhat) rational mind. until you've been in that pit, you have no idea how bad that personal suffering really is.

again, this is easy to say if you're at a state of happiness in your life. people don't kill themselves because they feel bad, but know it's temporary. it's very permanent for these people, and it's very shortsighted to judge their mental state against a normal, happy, and rational mental state.

You should count your blessings that you aren't dealing with a severe mental illness.

You are a dumb frick. No clue what you're talking about

They do have a terminal illness. It's just mental

God you are the reason I hate these threads. Uneducated, uninformed fricks talking out of their arse. Typical OT

And everything you just stated is your feelings. Not fact

FACT

What if the person is an a-hole who no one likes and who is a blessing to no one? If Ted Bundy had offed himself at 20 people would have said "Oh what a tragedy, he had such promise."
