Please don't jump to the conclusion that I am contemplating suicide. It is just a topic.

Well for starters, NEVER SAY NEVER...
For those who do not agree with suicide (because of religion, faith, or preference), they cannot understand why people wish to die. They would believe that life is too precious to end it all by yourself.
But for those who do agree with suicide (like the groups of Japanese people who would go on a certain hills and end it there) would tell you why. Like: loss of employment, family loss, severe health problems (especially those who are in a coma, and did wish to end life prior to the coma), and emotional damage (depression). They would tell you that life is not worth living due to whatever the problem was. They would tell you that they weren't really living an "actual" life therefore they wish to end it.
What I'm trying to say is that suicide is JUSTIFIABLE to those who agree with the concept. For those who don't, it will not be justifiable. I hope I'm making sense.

If one commits suicide, does it need to be justified? If they have taken their own life, then something in them has justified it, and thus rendered all other attempts at justification irrelevant. For me, if I was about to get eaten by Zombies, I would kill myself quick. There were Jews, and I forget where, but they killed themselves rather than get captured by the Romans. Sometimes life is hard, but there are questions you have to ask before you could justify it. Could you move away and start over? Have you tried a different culture/lifestyle? Ultimately, the only question that needs to be answered is, "Do I want to keep on living?" which may be accompanied by "Is it possible that my life will improve, and this is only a dark spot?" I'd say, you only get one life, so you might as well stick it out as long as you can. Just one of those things. You only have to do it once, and if you are wanting to snuff it, it probably can't get any worse, only better, so I think a real justification would be hard to come by based on sadness, unrealized goals, or loss. Other reasons, like immediate death, capture, or escaping a fate worse than death, are more justifiable. In the end, there is only one decider of this justification: the person that is contemplating.

If you believe terminal health problem justifies suicide, I believe you must rethink. Good nursing care and help could make a large change within the transition to the tip of lifestyles for so much folks. Estate making plans early ample can offset so much if no longer the entire economic burdens. It's drawback leadership that results in the unhealthy effect such a lot of worry. Suicide in an act of saving a further,is justifiable. Think of the finishing of Saving Private Ryan. Of path its fiction,but it surely represents justified suicide. Taking a mortal danger for an honorable rationale.

I would say NEVER, but if it came down to the old fashioned riddle of if you and a family member were put on opposite sides of a wall and given a button to push and whoever pushed the button first would kill them self and the other would live or if within a certain amount of time neither did both would die, well if it was my child on the other side i would say i love you and hit the button before they had the chance!!!!

Never, we got life as a gift, a loaner. By suicide we negate the purpose of life, we end up worshipping self and thereby deem ourselves to be God and so we now can dispose of life as we see fit. If we worship Perfection, which exists in the We, we see that there is some responsibility to others, to commit to self destruction is to Cop-out on this responsiblity.
All life is unique and deserves to live out its purpose until it NATURALLY ceases to exist.

when someone makes a mistake that is suicidal one has to live with it even though the person continues to live!!!! So what do u call this??? SUICIDE and yet I live!!!! And life goes on. In short I learnt it early in life to face life head on and not to be an escapist.

people don't always commit suicide because something is 'wrong' or theres a problem. maybe they feel like their life is complete and they don't have to prove anything else, and just has an overwhelming feeling to end it while it's good than to wait and die at a bad point in life

Its never justifiable. Just because a life is bad now how do you know its going to be that bad in 5 years life. Your life could drastically change and get better. I think suicide is a cop-out for a person that doesn't want to deal with their problems like every other person does. We all go through bad stuff in our life, doesnt mean its worth dieing over.
The only way I agree with suicide is when its one of those low lifes that goes and shoots someone and then shoots themselves. It makes it so much easier for courts.

suicide like anything else is never justifiable. suicide is nothing more and nothing less than a permanent solution to a temporary problem.
