In my opionion, everyone has the right to end their lives if they can do it without causing hurt (physical or emotional) to anyone else.
I dont think they have the right to ask anyone to assist though

If you mean being stuck in the hospital with no light at the end of the tunnel, then yes. With all the new drugs and treatments out there, sometimes I think they make people suffer far too long in a hospital bed in pain.
I don't agree with young, healthy depressed people committing suicide, because I honestly think they are just mentally sick and need help, and if they had just had someone to help them, they could get throught their ordeals. (I know a few families who have lost due to young suicides, and it's devastating)

Yes.
If one man dies, the odds of the whole world being shifted is very unlikely. It will affect others, but it is just a mourning process.
We should also be able to at least have the ability to decide is they want to live. One is going to die eventually, at least snuff it when you feel ready instead of "living" zombie like at an old age..

Life is precious, if one feels suicidal then there are people who can help them.many years ago I felt very low, but that did not give
me the right to end my life, I thought of my loved ones and the heartache such an act would cause.

No.
I think they should realize their pain is truly insignificant when compared to that felt worldwide. No, I would never say this to someone suicidal...but hey, I feel suicidal about half the time and still smile and try to do nice things for others. So people should just get over it.

this is a hard question, on one hand some people feel they can't go on and this seems their only way out, or they have had enough of suffering, but what if you have mental problems and you only think you cant go on but when you recieve treatment you realise things werent as bad as first thought and if you had commited suicide you would have made a terrible mistake,

IT SHOULD BE UP TOO THE INDIVUIALL, WHEN YOU GET INTO THIS, AND LOOK AT IT JUST RIGHT, THE INSURANCE COMPANIES WIL FIGHT YOU TOOTH AND NAILS BECAUSE THEY WIL NOT PAY OFF, TOO LIVING FAMILY MEMBERS, OR SPOUSESS, IN A SUCIDE ATTEMPT, ITS VERY IMPORTANT, THAT, WE LOOK AT THIS, MAYBE NOBODY REALIZES IT BUT LETS SAY YOU GOT A QUARTER OF A MILLION DOLAR INSURANCE POLICY FLOATING AROUND OUT THERE, AND YOU AE MARRIED, THE BIG INSURACE COMPANIES WILL NOT PAY IT OUT, AND DO NOT RECONOGIZE IT. YOU HAVE TOO THNK ABOUT SURIVING FAMILY MEMBERS SUCH AS A SWEET HEART, AND THE INSURANCE COMPANIES, ARE SMILING ALL THE, WAY TOO THE BANK ON THIS ONE, AND NOT A SWEETHEART WITH THERE LIFE INSURANCE POLICIES.

We do have that right although governmental and religious edicts may say otherwise. What are they going to do if you commit suicide anyway...arrest you? Personally I think its probably not a good idea unless you are terminally ill and in tremendous pain but we can if we want and no one can stop us. In your final act of life you get the satisfaction of "sticking it to the man" too.

I don't like the idea but, if someone is seriously ill and in severe pain every waking moment-then I would say they have the right too.
