When a man is under depression he tries to escape pain by committing
suicide , but does he really escape pain? No he increases it
hundredfold. The pain and sorrow that his family and friends feel at
his demise is actually a pain that is experienced by that individual.
Escapism is no remedy , the only way is to struggle and bear through
all hardships. To fight throughout is the only way and as death will
eventually come, why prepone it.
And there are worse things than death. There are many ways however to
minimize on the effects to others, such as drinking a bottle of rum and
passing out while out camping or hunting in extreme cold. Making it look
accidental however deprives others from the truth of why, and there is
always the element of wasted potential to reconcile. I agree one should
have the right to die with some dignity if facing insurmountable
suffering, but it should be held a sacred right and protected as much as
possible from manipulation holding severe punishments. An 18 year old
can decide whether to stand in the line of fire, but someone with
incurable cancer or mind/body falling apart cannot say enough is enough
until their body can give up without aid. Insurance companies should
hold no weight in the discussion.
