With all respect to Andromida, thank you for posting you view on the situation. It seems that we are going to carry on this discussion for the pure interest of it now.
I know people who have SERIOUSLY attempted suicide. Most of them were later diagnosed with clinical depression or bipolar disorder. These diseases can go undiagnosed all of ones life. The person may feel extreamly happy one moment and devestated the next, or may feel forever as if they simply can't be happy. But what many of you don't seem to understand, is that these people CAN'T be happy. Their brains don't work that way. They are missing or have too much of certain chemicals. The medication is what fixes that.
Many of you seem to be against the medication. Would you not give an asthmatic their inhalar during an asthma attack? If someone had uncontrollable high blood pressure, would you not give them stableizing drugs? Many of these people have SERIOUS disorders that their upringing and intelligence level are irrelevant to.
Am I saying that everyone who commits suicide has a clinical disorder? No. But what I am saying is that many of them do, and it's not their fault. The people who don't are still not seeing things clearly. The positon where many of you stand tells that you have never experienced that deep a depression. When one feels that empty or painfull inside, all rationality, ideals and truths become a non constant.
Do I believe suicide is ever right? No. People have to speak out to stop it. The suicide rates are too high. But we don't need to comdem these people so much as to listen to them and treat them medically and psycologically as needed.
