Do humans have the right to commit suicide?

Mike -- Suicide is a Right for Everybody, NOT just the Dying Terminally ill, but for the Mentally ill- who suffer Even MORE than the Terminally ill, A person's life and body belong to them alone, and they should be allowed to do whatever they want with it, Including Committing Suicide, so long as they don't Physically harm anyone else, If others cannot understand this, they are Retarded.... All Suffering People, Especially the Mentally ill have the Right to Commit Suicide, so long as they don't Physically harm anyone else, The Bible says "God is Love" God wil Forgive People who commit Suicide, we will all die eventually anyway, so what if it's by Suicide

Yes, Suicide is A Basic God-Given Right -- No one Asked to be Born into this Horrible World of Suffering, Each person should decide for him/herself the time and manner of their Deaths, NOT the Government or stupid "Laws" or anyone or anything else, Each person decides for themselves the time and manner of their deaths and they alone have the Final Say, and The Governments of the USA and Society and Laws Respect that and allow the suffering person to commit Suicide..

No one asked to be Born..

Yes, Suicide is a Fundamental Right !! No one asked to be Born into this Horrible World of Suffering, No one has any Moral or Legal or other Right to Force a Suffering Mentally ill or other person to "Live" Against their Will in Terrible Pain.. NOT the Governments of the USA or any Nation or stupid "Laws" that don't makes sense or "Society" or Religion/Any Religion or "Morality" etc .. Each Person decides for themselves the Time and Manner of their Deaths, And the Government and "Society" Respects that, The Fundamental Right to Commit Suicide is for all Suffering People, NOT Just the dying Terminally ill, but also the Mentally ill(Who Suffer MORE) even with Meds and Therapy, and the Mental illness Suffering is Chronic and Lifelong,, Mentally ill people are Often VERY COMPETANT in their Decision to want to die, don't assume that just because they are Mentally ill they cannot be Competant, each case is different and Unique, it is a Form of illegal Torture, of Terrorism and Rape and Slavery to Violate the Rights of a Suffering Person by Keeping them Alive AGAINST THEIR WILL in Terrible pain, just to please the Selfish Needs and Desires of others, God is Love and Forgives people who Commit Suicide, I say this as a Christian who goes to Church, Remember to "Live and Let Die" as the Beatles song goes.. And "Let it Be" What is so Terrible about Suicide, we will all die sooner or later anyway so what if it is by Suicide, what matters to God is how a Person LIVES their Life, the good things a person does for others, People have Every Right to Commit Suicide so long as they don't Physically hurt anyone else, if others cannot understand that, they are Mentally Challenged, plus Those who feel they have the "Right" to Force the Mentally ill to Live Against their Will,, Who Made them God ? That they can decide for others what they can or cannot do with their Lives/bodies..

Just because it doesn't "feel" right that you have a duty not to interfere with someone else's suicide doesn't mean it's actually wrong. I once saw a video of someone forcibly dragging back a person who was going to jump off a bridge. It disturbed me. I was (and still am) depressed when I watched it, and sometimes entertained thoughts of suicide, and it angered me that someone might think they and not ME could decide what would happen with my life. If I ever did commit suicide, I would be acting freely. Anyone who decides I am not would be acting on their own prejudices. I would clarify, however, that I am aware that watching someone kill themselves and not being able to stop it would be a traumatic event for most people, so I'd try to do it somewhere private. And, you know, not leave too much of a mess.

Your not going to get anybody on your side if your going to mention "god" Plus my mum put me on this earth "God" only put 2 people on this earth -_-

If you don't have dependents, then your objection is nullified as the emotions of friends do not get priority over right to death.

Just because the police state of the world took it upon themselves to "save people from themselves" doesn't mean they had the right to do so. Neither the police, the state, you, I, nor anyone else has ANY right to keep someone alive against his/her will. That's all there is to it.

So if I take some money out of my wallet, you're saying I'm committing a theft? :S

I want an argument that it is a right, I don't see why I'd have the bop here. What it comes down to for me is that in the typical case of suicide I just don't think the individual is acting freely. Clearly we can speak of 'outside forces' or whatever within the self that can make one's decisions not truly one's own like mental illness. If the second part is true about the extension of duties not including stopping suicide then I'll think the point over, but on its surface it would seem like there's a basic contradiction. Clearly the right would not be "right" or substantial, it would like if I as God granted you the right to eat, but surrounded you with lions...I'll think it over though.

I guess it does sound a little odd, but I don't see why that means it's not a right. Even if rights entail duties from others, those duties could simply just be to allow us to make our own choices and not to interfere rather than to prevent us from offing ourselves.

So....much....stupid....I can't.... Okay, there's a few problems with what you're saying here. First off, there is literally nothing cowardly about suicide. In fact, I'd assert that it takes massive stones to commit suicide, especially if you're younger. This is based off of the fact that a) living in pressing times (especially where all one has to do to make it easy with a hard disease is to get the news to publish a single story about them and then donations start pouring in from EVERYWHERE), is much more simple and easy as opposed to opting out. By opting out, you are not only accepting that you're wanting to inflict massive amounts of pain onto yourself willingly (massive stones), but you're willing to face something completely new and never-before faced (the hereafter, the afterlife, heaven/hell, pick your flavor). Death is the final frontier, a frontier that will never be explored until it is our time to settle there. To do something like that early is gutsy. Second off, by answering no to "Do we have the right to commit suicide", and then saying "I say let them die", you just massively contradicted your entire fvcking position. But then finally, and probably most importantly, your very attitude only perpetuates the reasons why people commit suicide. Whenever someone is depressed, the LAST thing you want to tell them is that they're being cowardly, and that they deserve to die if they're contemplating suicide, and constantly insulting them and harassing them. You know what they're going to do if you do that? Commit suicide. It's the fact that YOUR idiocy and YOUR hypocrisy and YOUR arrogance and naivety that's driving people who come to you for help and a shoulder to lean on over the edge and to kill themselves. People who are contemplating suicide should die? No, people like YOU should die.

ATTN Anonymous: I assure you, you have the right to kill yourself. Should you avail yourself to exercise that right, I doubt that anyone would mind.

More importantly, how about actually responding to the opinion before going on a religious tyrade? Even if I bought what you were talking about, I could still say "Sure, you're right there, but I still have the right to kill myself, even if God sent me down here".

How about you provide some hardcore proof your "God" exists before asserting that nonsense?

Don't force your ficticious religion on everyone.

Except for that "God" only exists in your imagination the Bible is a fiction book.
