I still don't understand why people think that it is wrong for someone to want to end their life. If someone doesn't wish to continue living then how can anyone else see that as being wrong. It is their life, and they should be able to do whatever they want. If they feel that they've reached the conclusion of it then we should be able to accept that. Someone can get killed in a accident, or die of illness and people can accept that it was their time to go. Yet it is wrong for someone to be able to choose when they should end their life. Even someone that has a terminal condition is not allowed to end their own life. I just can not understand how other people feel can not accept someone's choice about their life.

I'm with you on this one... I don't understand either, especially for terminally ill people who want to die with dignity. Other than religious reasons, there doesn't seem to be a good reason at all.

The reasons are the answers. Why does someone not want to live anymore? Can it be fixed? Killing someone else is a crime, and killing yourself should be too. Find a solution for the problem other than death. In terminal patient situations, it is different as there are not so many choices.

Because the spirit in you is a loan, an engine designed to carry you over the bumpy road of life. Your mileage at the end of the journey determines your ultimate destination. If you renege or default on the loan, how do you expect to receive a good credit rating? Read Psalm 51 and Psalm 139.

Its against the law of nature. Have you seen any animal committing suicide ? they are even more helpless than we humans, as they can't communicate nor can take care of themselves.
If you have some religious inclination, then its sure that you will understand very well that committing suicide is just like leaving a classroom without learning the full lesson. You are born in this world to fulfill some cause & to learn something. You will HAVE to learn it may be in this birth or re-births. In next birth its even more struggling, as you have to start from the beginning, so why to waste this precious life.
I 100% agree with 'starrwoode'.

I consider it a selfish thing to do. It hurts the people who loved the person, and causes a disruption in culture itself. someone shouldn't have the right to control their destiny like that...that's why it's, well, destiny. That's how I see it anyway. Many Christians believe it is wrong because it's a form of killing, even if it's yourself, it's one of God's creatures (which I believe). It's also believed that one won't be forgiven for killing themselves, I guess because that would be the last thing they've done, and wouldn't be able to repent. Anyway, it depends on who you're asking. we all have different opinions, and to some yours makes sense. i can see your argument, but not enough that I would change my opinion.

Everyone is looking for answers. If your answer is end your life then you have found your answer. It scares people because they are stupid. They believe that it is a direct reflection on their own life if anyone ends their life. As if they are bad people because they didn't prevent it, or could have prevented it. Yet these same stupid people are not willing to improve the lives of humanity. The one and only cause of death is being born. The only verification for life is quality.

I think if you are mentaly stable, and have a terminal illness, you should no doubt be able to have the choice killing yourself. In a humane way of course.
If anyone wants to talk about this email me.

because in some religions commiting suicide is the ultimate sin! people think that to kill urself means automatically going to hell! and also taking ur own life seems selfish to some people because there are people in the world that are sick and dying and want to live, so u'll be seen as a bad person for wasting a life, especially ur own!

yeah well how do they know it is the conclusion without terminal illness or accident? God put us here for a reason. You may be here to make even just one person happier than they ever were in their whole life (to be their angel here on earth).And they yours.
