Is suicide still against the law? If it is, thats pretty stupid.

Hmmm... I can sort of see why, but then its like the whole euthanasia thing. I think it should be allowed, but I understand why people think it shouldnt be aswell. Ah well, thats a completely different topic really...

Which are the stupid health and safety laws? They may seem stupid to those with a bit of intelligence, but trust me, there are people that if you don't tell them not to do such obvious things, they will. People/companies/government are just protecting their backs from lawsuits and other such complications, nothing wrong with that, lawsuits are expensive.

euthanasia and suicide are completely different, im pro euthanasia as it means ending somebodies terminal torment and suffering, but with suicide theres always another way out, regardless of whether the person can identify it. everyone goes through depression and general bad periods in their life, i just think its selfish to put the people you love through even greater torment just because you feel you cant deal with it. ok, people who are bullied for example, i do empathise with them, but killing yourself isnt the way to sort it out. you join clubs to make new freinds, you talk to people, you stand up to the ****s who push you around. finally, i think suicide is so stupid considering the future offers many new oppurtunities and riches- and considering a large number of people who kill themselves are below the age of 25, its just a waste.

Yeah I agree with all that, suicides not the way to go, but I wouldnt put a law against it. I dont understand why someone would have thought "Yes, lets punish them even though theyre dead".. It doesnt make any sense to me. And euthanasia should be legal, theres no more to it than that.

i think the whole point of this law against suicide is to put it into practice if you survive......which is likely to make the "offender" feel much better.

The laws against suicide - aside from the moralistic aspect - is to protect insurance companies. They will not payout life insurance if the deceased commited suicide.

I see no reason why euthanasia should not be allowed (with strict controls). Some people are suffering so badly, and are never going to get better. Do we have a right to prolong their pain?
