Newborn27:



I'm not making up stuff...I rea up whatever I don't know about.... euthanasia is allowed and legal based on the country terms and conditions.



You can enlighten me more in what I don't know....we learn daily.

DaddyCoool:


I thought you said you asked Google? See below

Newborn27:



I don't know how to attach pics on Nairaland...I typed is euthanasia legal? An read.

Newborn27:




Physical and unbearable pain... like disease or cancer?

I don't still agree to suicide.... physical pain is more endurable than pain from within.


If such victim has a loving family who truly cares and loved..... they'd help make the pain bearable through genuine love and care coupled with pain relief medications until he dies a natural death.

DaddyCoool:


And if they don't have a "loving family who truly cares"?

Newborn27:




Hmmmmmmm


Humans are social being... there's no way he/she wouldn't have someone who would truly care.


Despite the hardship and hurdles in the country...we still have people with big heart.

Suicide will never be my advice to anyone.

DaddyCoool:


My friend "social being" will not bear the horrible physical pain that makes you wish every second you were dead and would give ANYTHING to be dead and rest.
Ok, here's another question for you: what exactly would be the point of not ending the pain if you could?

Newborn27:



Depression could be draining on the brain as nothing would seem meaningful in ones existence.....but if we can speak up... there's always a remedy for every illness.. mentally.. spiritually... emotionally or physically.


[/b]Wealthy people[b] are willing to go extra miles should there's a drug or medication that extends lifespan.


Life is beautiful dear!

spencekat:
Some of those wealthy people have committed suicide too.

Newborn27:


It happens truly...but [/b]not all.[b]


Majority of the wealthy people commiting suicide are either [/b]young... naive or greedy[b].


Real wealth would taunt you to live more and enjoy the wealth.


Should there's a medication that extends lifespan and younger growth...many people... especially our politicians would go extra miles to get it for themselves and loved ones.



Life is beautiful and sweet but sweeter when money is involved... though I haven't experienced it sha.

spencekat:
It can't be all.Young?..No.Naive?...No,Greedy ?..No.Life is not just about having money.

Newborn27:



What could make a wealthy person commit suicide if not for the afformentioned or village people?

spencekat:
Remember that Adolf Hitler, shot/poisoned himself.Well,I can't rule out of village people,taking Nigeria or Africa as a whole as a case of study.

Newborn27:



He killed himself with gunshot and his one day old wife drank cyanide.....due to the fear of the aftermath of the ongoing war.


This happened many years ago...how many wealthy person has been recorded commiting suicide?


It's rare.

Newborn27:



Number one reason is..... it's not biblical


Secondly... I'd live with the guilt of advising him/her to commit suicide when I eventually see people healing from same pain he suffered from in the future......cos... nothing is new under the sun...some people would have gone through same thing he's passing through and others would still go through it.



Thirdly.... I'm a fighter...I don't like quitting...I believe the doctors should know what is best for such person than I do.

DaddyCoool:



Non of the reasons you gave is LOGICAL.
I'm also against suicide biblically, but this is an intellectual exercise. So you have failed to give one logical reason why someone in great pain and guaranteed to soon die should keep on suffering

As for doctors, their advice would be euthanasia, but it's illegal

Newborn27:



Being logical here means to help or watch him in taking his own life....but I said I'd live with the guilt of being aware of how he died...I might suffer greater depression for letting him go.

I don't pray for such pain that would require suicidal thoughts to anyone close to me cos I can't handle the trauma...I guess I'm too timid .

DaddyCoool:


Wow! So it's all about you and your possible guilt?! The fact that he is meaninglessly suffering greatly to certain death means absolutely nothing!
Besides, the discussion is NOT about you or any other person, only the person suffering - wether it makes sense for that person to end his suffering by committing suicide. You haven't given ONE logical reason why not.
