You should kill yourself for your inability to type sentences that DON'T induce migraines angry

You mean your god has still not answered your prayer on being able to create a simple sentence without a grammatical error? tongue

Attempt suicide or suicide is a crime in some countries, even assist suicide is a crime in some countries.

In my own personal opinion, suicide should be legal and illegal depending on the case at hand.

It should be legal when one is suffering from pains of a medical condition and no treatment, such person should decide if he/she wants to leave this world.

It should be illegal when you have no meaningful and logical reason to end your life e.g depression, JW people rejecting blood transfusion. Government duty is to protect lives.

And it shouldn't be criminalize, it should be a psychological, medical case.

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



So you will drive people to kill themselve if you can


This is what you deserve........

I hope u are not equating this to suicide bombers... never seen anyone arrested for attempting suicide. A lot have been rescued from drowning in Lagos Lagoon, none have been arrested and charged for any crime

It is in our criminal law. Whether we prosecute them on many cases is another issue

The law was abducted from British law. But anyway culturally is an abomination too in Nigeria.....Yoruba people for instance regards it as taboo and anyone who dare it successfully will have is family properly clean( traditionally ) in igbo land it is refer to alu .

Successfully committing suicide cannot be criminalized.

You can't put a dead body in jail, nor can you try it for a crime.

But attempted suicide is illega as our cuture /law determine . The rationality behind it is not to "punish" the person who attempted to kill themselves, but for the state to intervene and assess the mental state of the person who did so, and if there is some medical issue, the state will force them into treatment so that perhaps they won't try it again.

Even as the case might be , rerely is someone who attempts suicide arrested, jailed, and tried for the crime.

I doubt this kind of case happen in Nigeria despite the law for it.. I seriously doubt it ...

We rather offer a helping hand....

And on the critical medical condition, the doctor alongside the family or state lawyer ( that is if there is no family) should be the people to determine that. Sick patient has no says in this case because of his health...


My opinion though.....

My opinion though.....
If the doctor said there's no cure for the condition and the patient is in serious pains, if the patient doesn't want to live anymore, he/she should be granted that.

But I get you, the doctor and family will be the one to determine that since the patient is on a sick bed.

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. .

True

The law is a useless one for all I care. If someone what's to kill himself, can this law stop him? No.
Can the law prosecute a dead person? No.

Does it even really matter if people are given the right to kill themselves or not? Is anyone capable of giving such a right to another?

Chairman, when a person is fed up of life... I mean really fed up and he wants to kill himself. There is nothing any law is going to do about it

Abeg, have they arrested anyone for suicide? Dead body dey prison?
Lol. Even attempted suicidees don't go to prison if they failed to die.

As to the "right to kill oneself", I've always found this funny. Who's permission does a suicidee need? Governments perhaps? Are they going to be required to give a suicide permit or something?

Suicidees don't need permission. They just take their own life.

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.
You don't "allow". You have no authority whatsoever to be 'allowing'! I just buy a gun and shoot myself. Your 'allowing' is irrelevant.

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

So, a person can't simply say "I don't want to be alive again?"

Government's protection is mandatory?

Yes it is. They'd section you. Throw in a mad house and set you on 24 hour watch. Some governments care so much they'd do anything to keep people alive even those who want to die.

People should have the right to end their life whether they have a good reason to or not. It's their life.

To digress a little, I did like to say that not all people who commit suicide or attempt to are "screwed" in the head. A normal person with no disorder of any form and with a sound mind can still commit suicide. It happens that there are people who prefer quality of life over it's longevity.

Human life is an existential horror. Take for instance, countries like Japan have more suicide rate than Uganda.

The more intelligent you are, the more likely you are to commit suicide.

It seems the more humans know or understand, the mind begins to seek self destruction
