Funny enough, I disagree that "People should have the right". That statement is just odd since it implies a right someone has to give to one as opposed to a right one already has.

do we come with an inherent right or are all our rights granted to us by an authority? (Because I don't understand this statement)

Martinez19:
It depends sha, though it's true that intelligent and more matured minds have a better grasp of life and know that all is ultimately pointless and vanity. When our earth eventually collapses into the sun, what will be use of all of human endeavours?

4.5billion years approximately from now for that to happen, doubt if there will be such a thing as 'the human race' by then

In developed society with great but "immature" minds, there is a high pressure to succeed academically and get the good life. Maybe that's what mainly contributes to suicide. I stand to be corrected.

What do you mean "great" but immature minds?

malvisguy212:
alright..........I lost a friend in this Kaduna crisis, a good brother.

I'm sorry to hear that bro.

Martinez19:
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

tintingz:
Lol, how will you explain the DNA of the identical twins having same traits?

They are identical twins.

Jesus!!!

tintingz:
@johnydon22,

Check out these transgender twins, are we going to say there's no biological or genetic involve in this?

No. There isn't.

Male human is Male human. Female is female.

Even if you aesthetically change your looks, you are still what you are.

budaatum:
Lol! Or push him sef!

and then go to jail and ruin your life because of your busy body

tintingz:
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.

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

Government's protection is mandatory?

malvisguy212:
is suicide good or bad ?

I honestly don't know though I'd say it is morally neutral.

What do you think?

I see, one of your atheist friend already accepted it as good.

Lol

frank317:
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

hahn:
But we are talking about Nigeria

Just making it clear

Gloriawinning:
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

hahn:
A lot o things don't make sense in this country and that is only one of them

It's a crime in many countries

frank317:
Lol... How na. So if I try killing my self and didn't succeed I will be locked up in kirikiri? I don't know but that sounds funny sha

Yeap.

vaxx:
Similar question was asked by an athiest...

I have addressed the question of human moral basis

CAPSLOCKED:
GOOD REASON TO TRY VERY HARD NOT TO FAIL.

the OP questions if this should be a right so it won't have to be prosecuted

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?

Tartar9 is a Muslim and every basis for an argumentative point is valid for discussion

hungryboy:
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.

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

CAPSLOCKED:
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.

You can be prosecuted and jailed if you fail

frank317:
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.

No they don't. Suicide is a crime in Nigeria

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?

felixomor:
Its the truth!

ok

jesais24:
Every atheist is a theist in the making.

I'm glad you think like this, hence the reason atheist are here is for you to convert them to theism. Have thought about that?

felixomor:
Nice one.
Seun used to troll before.
But he has desisted of late.

Atheists cant find meaning in life without talking about God, whom they claim doesn't exist.
Many even occupy religious fora more than christians themselves.
Its a burden for them.

Do you honestly believe this?

Pasako:
i Hate God. Bleep God

lol. You are a misotheist. How and why exactly do you hate God?

Binikingdowm:
They have scored a goal so let's blame ighalo because he didn't save the ball and let's praise iwobi cause he's an Igbo and they are treated differently

You are an idiot

tejiri4:
Na Libya you guys won use shine, mk una play friendly with beta country. Nonsense

Dude you are confused. It's not a friendly match

Binikingdowm:
but if it was an Igbo boy like iwobi that scored that goal you would have praised him

Jesus! Oga shut up!!! Quit your stupid tribalism

Binikingdowm:
Why always iwobi iwobi?

Ighalo scored the goal but just because he's no Igbo he won't get praised..

He missed just one chance in world cup and you all want to eat him alive he has scored 4 goals no single praise..

Pathetic lots

Oga please carry your tribalism and get out of here

Dont come and spoil our fun.

Today of all day, we are one in spirit and joy

bujebudanu1:

CAPTIVATOR:
Revelation is very honest, if only you had paid attention to the opening details this thread won't have arise.

"
The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show unto his servants, even the things which must shortly come to pass: and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John; " Revelation 1:1

Signified means to present something by symbols distinct from its actual meaning . You will find dragon with many heads etc in this Bible book , its a Representation of something as evident by the word " Signified ".

That is a wow So much honesty

Hundredfold4lif:
Baseless argument based on debased thinking!

Technically, it is just a story not an argument
