Is suicide justifiable?

There was a thread in the OTF that caused many of us to believe a certian new member will/has commited suicide. I brought up the thing that suicide isn't justifiable. But my question is "Is suicide justifiable?"

In the end, it is your own life. Spend it as you will.

It's definately understandable in some cases. But it's still a very selfish thing to do.

Understandable, yes, but in very few circumstances is suicide justifiable, in my opinion. For example, if someone was in extreme physical pain and was terminally ill, I believe suicide would be justified...

Everything can be justified...

I think it is. I personally could justify it at least.

In my opinion that's not really suicide. That's just giving up. Unless they slit their throat for that reason, I don't think it's suicide. Telling people to take her off life support is another story, but, whatever.

How can a moral person justify suicide? There's really no reason other than some terminal illness that causes mass suffering that can justify suicide. Depression can be dealt with, and a lot of people commit suicide for stupid reasons.

Because everyone that lives should (imo) certainly have the right to decide when to end it?

Stupid reasons? What would be a stupid reason? I can't think of any reason that would be stupid. I mean even if it is because you didn't get marmalade on your bread...whatever finds your lost remote, ya know what I mean?

You can't? How about if you caught your woman cheating on you?

Rash = stupid.

Ever heard the song "Everybody Plays the Fool" by The Main Ingredient?

I believe its the easy way out.

If you want to kill yourself afterwards, cool...I probably wouldn't...but it's your right to end your life at any given point.

A life wasted is a life in need of help

You'd be surprised what a human mind can justify under certain circumstances...

That's a tad insulting don't you think? It's their life, if they don't like it, then its their choice what to do with it...

That's a tad insulting to life itself isn't it?

Life can't be insulted, people can be. then again they are dead now, so who cares...insult away.
