We'll all worry more about answering you when you find a state where it's illegal to commit suicide.

I'm not sure why people keep saying it's suicide, I can assure you it's not, knowing the risks doesn't make it suicide in the eyes of the law anymore so than it does skydiving or smoking.\n\n1. Using the logic of the aforementioned responders, Harry Houdini, Evil Knievel, and David Blaine would be/have been locked away in mental health facilities for multiple suicides attempts. \n\n2. There is no such thing as 'accidental suicide'. I'm not sure where people are getting that term from, but it's an oxymoron to say the least. Suicide uses the same legal criterion that separates murder from manslaughter, the intent to kill to standard. Unless the person was playing because they wanted to die, their intent was to beat the odds and win.\n\n3. Death from Russian roulette is therefore, accidental as a subset of gross negligence in the eyes of liability insurance. Because of this, you would be unlikely to recover damages since the policy holder was still at fault, even if the death wasn't intentionally (suicidal).

Yes it is cruel to do that to a person. And I know that in Oregan, it is legal for a person to decide wheather or not they want to die. However, I don't know if its legal anywhere else. I think it should be, but lots of people look down on it as "assisted suicide".

Crack is really harmful for the body. You shouldn't do a survey on that. And if you DO do crack, stop. It's just the same thing as suicide. Except with this one, you drag the pain out longer. Plus, all your parents will nag you about it when you're starting to die. See? So don't do drugs!

Should we be worried about you doing something to yourself, or do you have a health condition that might cause your death?\n\nIf you're considering suicide, PLEASE speak to someone.

well, for the person who commits suicide they are free and feel no pain.  For the people they leave behind, they feel pain and wonder what they could of done to stop that person.  I don't recommend suicide.  It doesn't solve problems.

People commit suicide for different reasons but it is mainly an act of desperation. People cannot see a way out of their problem or situation and suicide seems like the only answer.\nIt is a way of escaping from what people do not want to face.\n\n"Suicide is the last act of a free human" - \nUnfortunately I cannot remember where this quote is from...\n\nGood Luck.

That needs to be asked because sometimes people kill themselves by accident or it's very possible it may not have been suicide but murder and it was covered up. All people do not kill themselves because they are depressed however a large percentage are depressed.

People are against suicide because it makes them feel bad. They selfishly think of themselves and how bad they will feel about it instead of thinking about ending the suffering of a loved one.

Wanting to die at that age would be unhealthy. \n\nBut simply being at peace with what can and will eventually happen  is perfectly healthy.

I fully beleive that if someone wants to die, they should be able to do it. The governemnt's not going to stop me if I really want to commit suicide. Pain should be able to be stopped -- one way or another. Death is as good a way as others. \nBy the way...I really wish doctors actually did no harm.

Yes, I do. The Netherlands legalized it not too long ago, and my uncle was euthanized just after that. {Is that correct English?} It was a good thing for him. He was of sound mind, but was terminally ill. Instead of everyone watching him suffer, they let him do this. So yes, I think it should be legal, as long as it's strictly monitored.

I have always said that if my illness ever takes me to a point where I am suffering unduly, where my dignity and self-worth are  compromised, I would want someone to take my life if I couldn't do it myself. Because this isn't legal,  I wouldn't expect anyone to do this for me but it is how I feel on the subject.\n\nWe do it for animals, so that they don't suffer, and I strongly believe in these circumstances euthanasia is thr only humane way.

i wish it were legal. If a person wants to die, then why not? dont tell me " life is beautiful, it has its ups and downs, keep ur chin up" or anything like that, i say if ur uhmmm maybe 23 and over then u can decide for yourself. and at least this way u r not getting anyone else involved where they may be harmed like throwing urself into traffic, setting a fire, jumping off a building. we have a surplus population anyway. it should be a persons choice. im not suicidal by the way lol..and dont mean only when they have some illness, if someone wants to die, let them. and dont tell me its agianst religion, the person who wants to die doesnt care obviously, its not there religion or they have given up on it. and dont say that u hurt the ppl u leave behind, the person that wants to die is hurting obviously so he needs to think about himself first. he has kids? well hes not gonna be a good father anyway if he wants to be dead, kids wil be better off....wow hey where is this debate, i want to check it out lol. good luck

I would never ever think of killing myself. Just face my problems or take a break from them first by going on vacation or something and upon returning I would be able to face problems better and turning to God and praying is a great method to comfort oneself.

dude, been there, done that. if you're on here talkin bout it, you aren't gonna do it. i tried, and failed, twice. once with asprin and paracetamol, the other time with ecstacy and ketamine. both times i was found and had my stomach pumped before it worked. i always wonder why i tried it, wether it was work, family, friends, drugs or some other factor that made me want to kill myself. sometimes i wish they had just let me die, other times i am glad they didnt.only you can make the choice kid, are things really as bad as they seem? are u doing drugs? do you need this girl to live? or is it just teenage angst against the world, like everybody goes through? think about it.

Well, suicide is never a great option in my honest opinion, but here is a great list of why one wouldn't want to kill themselves.\n\nhttp://www.wingsoffiresurvivors.com/reasons.htm
