Should People Have The Right To Kill Themselves? by johnydon22(m): 8:59pm On Oct 21, 2018
One of the most fundamental rights humans accord themselves is "Right to life "

But what are the extents of this right? Should this right to life be extended to the "right to kill yourself"?

If not, why?

If yes, why?

Should people be allowed to decide to die?

WHAT IS THE PUNISHMENT FOR SUICIDE? DO YOU JAIL A DEAD BODY? OR MAKE IT APPEAR IN COURT TO PLEAD GUILTY OR NOT?

IT DOESN'T MATTER IF PEOPLE SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO DECIDE WHETHER OR NOT TO KILL THEMSELVES, IF YOU ASK ME. THEY'LL STILL KILL THEMSELVES ANYWAY AND THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO TO A DEAD MAN OTHER THAN BURY OR CREMATE HIS BODY.

Yes

The right to kill yourself should be enshrined in every Country's constitution, afterall, none of us got to choose to be born or not, at least, let's choose how our life ends.

Yes.

If you feel the world is not for you then you can self exit and stop occupying space that can be used for something of more benefit to the world.

The right to persuade people to kill themselves should be legal. Some people just don't know they are a waste smiley

People already have right to kill themselves.

Suicide only affects the loved once of victims. People who kill themselves just die and go. Their loved ones will stop them do so because of their live doe the person and the loss they will feel.

But the life we live is not fully our own, there are several constraints here and there

It's not your life,it's God's

I'VE OBSERVED THAT ONCE GOD IS MENTIONED IN ANY DISCUSSION NOTHING MAKES SENSE ANYMORE.
LOOK, WE UNDERSTAND THAT GOD IS USUALLY THE EXCUSE FOR THE REGULAR CHRISTIAN'S MENTAL INABILITY TO ENGAGE IN RATIONAL DISCUSS SO WHY DON'T YOU JUST WATCH AND LEARN FROM THE STANDS, OR WALK AWAY ENTIRELY? undecided

No, because Bible said in this life you will experience trials and tribulations but be of good cheer i have overcome the world!!
As a strong Christian who is growing deeper daily I'm at a point where I am so steadfast in my faith that I hardly get discouraged, all my trials sometimes make me smile cos
Holy Spirit would already walk me through how I will overcome.
Praying for anyone in a bad situation right now, Jesus is the answer.

You are answering whether people should kill themselves or not. My question was whether they should have the right to if they want to

I BELIEVE IT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO ALLOW PEOPLE CHOOSE THEY DON'T WANT TO LIVE ANYMORE.. BECAUSE IN THE FIRST PLACE THEY NEVER ASKED TO BE BORN SO IT SHOULD BE POSSIBLE TO LEAVE WHENEVER ONE IS FED UP WITH LIVING.
SUICIDE SHOULD BE A FUNDAMENTAL HUMAN RIGHT.

THE ONLY THING DISCOURAGING SUICIDE IS FEAR. FEAR OF DYING AND ENDING UP IN A BOX, FEAR OF WHAT THE AFTERLIFE MAY LOOK LIKE, FEAR OF HOW FRIENDS AND LOVED ONES WILL COPE, AND SO ON.

WEED IS ILLEGAL BUT PEOPLE STILL SMOKE AND THOSE THAT DON'T SMOKE DON'T DO IT BECAUSE IT'S NOT THEIR THING, AND NOT BECAUSE IT'S ILLEGAL. SO WHEN IT'S MADE LEGAL IT WILL BE THE USUAL CUSTOMERS COMING OUT OF THEIR HOLES.

SO THE LEGALIZATION OF SUICIDE WILL NOT MAKE A MAN WHO INITIALLY DIDN'T WANT TO TAKE HIS LIFE TO CHANGE HIS PLANS AND CONSIDER SUICIDE. I DON'T THINK IT'LL WORK LIKE THAT.

BESIDES IN THIS COUNTRY NOT TOO MANY PEOPLE KNOW THAT SUICIDE IS A CRIME. A SILLY POLICY IT IS, IN FACT, IF THE GOVERNMENT AREN'T LOCKING UP DEAD BODIES IN PRISONS. .

They arrest for "attempted" suicide because kirikiri is the right place for someone who just tried to kill him/herself cheesy grin

Lol. The only thing to do about suicide is to have a suicide helpline with phsychiatrists and orderlies on call who can stop people from committing suicide.

There are people who have come out from suicidal depression. They need people who are supportive and caring.

But one cannot save them all. There are suicidal people that should even be shot on sight. Imagine a person claiming that he wants to commit suicide because he gambled his family's money on naijabet. The night carried his wife's money and their savings to go and gamble. He even borrowed money to gamble.

That is why I support suicide and think it should be encouraged. Just imagine meeting someone on the bridge and he tells you he wants to jump over for one of the reasons you mentioned. Na to encourage am. One will be like "move and jump at that place because there are more rocks" grin
