We're all going to die one day..so why is suicide wrong?

It is as selfish to force someone to live when it's clear that they want it not. Very easy to say it's selfish. Let's see if you can disprove this. No offense but I just don't like to hear that suicide is selfish because things are more complicated than it looks.

Well, I don't really think it's intrinsically selfish, because obviously if someone is suicidal and they are not receiving treatment or help, it's the only option for them, I just think putting your friends and family through so much pain is, well wrong I guess.
I don't think it's selfish to force someone to live, because their lives may well get a lot better, and they will have wasted it if they kill themselves.
No offence meant, as I have been there (almost) and I know what it's like x

Suicide isn't selfish. It's impossible for suicide to be selfish, since the 'self' doesn't gain anything from it; the simple fact that the 'self' doesn't exist after the suicide should make this clear.

I guess because it goes againt every human instinct we have ever had, the main one being survival. I think it's wrong also because it is extremely selfish, putting your family through that tbh. I have felt suicidal and helpless, but I would never kill myself, because, well it's just completely wasting maybe 50 years of life you have left, which may or may not get better. For all you know, you might win the lottery, or whatever you want to happen etc. Suicide is a complete cop out, and I don't think it's weak not to commit suicide. I think it's weak not to do anything about a bad situation, but suicide is not really solving a problem, it's avoiding dealing with anything ever again. I think you're lucky that you couldn't do it in the end.
Good Luck

Good point. But: the more you try to moralize someone by yelling at them, the more you urge them to commit the action they are thinking, in this case suicide. The More you tighten your grip on someone, the worse the situation will become instead of better.

Life is one's own property. Suicide should be a right. Plus the life could get worse instead of better.

Ok, it's not selfish. But it's not exactly great to put your family and friends etc. through a load of pain, when with treatment for depression and support etc. you might get a good quality of life back and then all the pain would have been for nothing.

turn it the other way around.

isn't it selfish to keep them alive and suffering so you don't?

It's not about me. In this scenario, I would be the one killing myself, I wouldn't be the 'friends and family'. And no anyway, I think suicide is a waste of a life that could get better anyway, so in the short term they might be suffering, in the long run they will have had more happiness.

Why is suicide wrong? We're all going to die.some of us just want to die earlier than others. You say think of your family and friends who will be devastated if you commit suicide..will they be jumping for joy if I died a natural death?

It's wrong because in some respects it can be seen as the coward's way out as we all have our fair share of problems in this life suicide is not the quick and easy solution. But imagine you did kill yourself how much damage do you think you have done to your loved ones, your friends. Really, living seems like a much better alternative.

100 % no. If I ever do such thing, it won't be because of being a coward, but for a revenge on fate for preventing me somehow through its plan about me from making the thing I want out of me.

So to say that suicide is cowardly isn't very reasonable. Let's see if anyone can disprove me.

Well not necessarily I mean some criminals turn to suicide to escape their impending punishment....... Cowardly much......?
