should suicide be considerd a crime?

i ask this question out of curiosity

people who fail when the attempt suicide are often prosecuted and have criminal charges against them

i guess this is more a moral question, should a person be able to take his/her own life?

discuss

no :|

i don't see how charging them with a crime does anyone any good (if they fail with the attempt). if anything, it'll make them want to kill themselves even more.

i never understood how someone could fail at killing themself

anyways I think the concept of suicide is stupid If i really was going to do it i would try my hand at a professional assasin first

do you guys think a person has the right to take his/her own life?

I don't think it should be a crime. But people who fail at attempted suicide has a reason for wanting to commit suicide, how the heck do you fail at killing yourself..

I don't think it's a crime to commit suicide.

If someone wants to remove themselves from the world, hey, have at it. That's a pretty selfish and cruel thing to do if you have loved ones, though.

[QUOTE="Snakewiseman"][QUOTE="needled24-7"]and where do you expect you'll find one of those?

i personally am about stuck in the middle....

its wrong to commit suicide but its a persons choice in the end

i some what be live a person if the fail in attempt to take their life to seek serious psychiatric help

i'm pretty sure in the US it's against the law to commit suicide.

It's a mickey mouse law. We don't enforce "attempted" suicide. We enforce those charged with assisting, or inciting.

Should suicide be considered a crime? No. Should they be allowed to do it? Why the hell not, it's their life not someone else.

oh okay. why is it called the mickey mouse law though?

needled24-7

Just a term we use for certain laws that are there but aren't enforced. In a case of attempted suicide, we're not going to charge the person if they're troubled, or are going through enough at the time. We might charge it against someone who is trying to escape charges and other moral obligations.

I think he means suicide by cop?

[QUOTE="Snakewiseman"][QUOTE="smittenllama"]Because...?smittenllama

I think it's stupid that we even have laws against suicide in the first place. How exactly do you intimidate a person who wants to die? I mean, what are they going to do to punish a failed suicide attempter...kill him?

No, they have the right to life, they have the right to end it..

Snakewiseman

Yeah, make them feel more alive!:twisted::P

yes, a person shouldnt be allowed to kill themselves. it should be a crime. its pretty much murder, except your killing yourself instead of someone else, but your still killing a person, which is murder.

[QUOTE="smittenllama"][QUOTE="Snakewiseman"] because you might as well do something completley fun first like see if you could get away with robbing a bank if you dont then I mean at least you went out in a blaze of glorySnakewiseman

[QUOTE="Snakewiseman"][QUOTE="smittenllama"]intriguing definition of 'blaze of glory' you have there :/smittenllama

No, people who attempt suicide should not be prosecuted; they should be given mental help.

Morally, I think suicide is wrong and cowardly. You must face your problems, nottake your lifeto escape them. You leave all who knew you and cared for you heartbroken and wondering what they could have done to change your mind. They feel insignificant and useless.

Saying that, I do not think those who have attempted suicide are bad people. One of the happiest and kindest people I have ever known recently attempted suicide. I do not think badly of him because of it, I only wish that he can make it through his hidden depression and realize all that he would have left behind.

No. If you're commiting suicide, you probably have alot of issues going on, so instead of chargng them and making the person more miserable, they should send them to a psychiatrist for help or something, unless of course the suicidal person does an actual crime before attempting to kill himself, then the person can get help, but while he/she is in jail.
