When is suicide right?

No questions need to be asked at all, because if you're taking your own life, then you're not following the purpose, you're breaking through it.

I don't know what you believe in, but suicide is always wrong. You can't justify it. You're not following the purpose of being alive.

Because everyone knows depression isn't a real illness

Sometimes people can't find happiness,.

Death is just returning to your defult state.

Ok then, satisfy my curiosity. Why are mental illnesses which can sometimes be uncurable, and life long, without much response to medication in a totally different class to these terminal illnesses? You said people who know the suicidee will be in agony wondering why, well it doesn't take a genius to realize why the medication-resistant schizophrenic who will probably spend their whole life in hospital getting injected forcibly commits suicide, I'd say it's pretty ****ing obvious why they did it. Yet that's not ok for them to kill themselves. They're meant to spend a ****ty life, tormented by hallucinations with little to no hope of a cure just because they happen to be mentally rather than physically disabled?

Nice to see how consistent your theory is. Or maybe it's just that you're one of those people who think mental illnesses are second class to physical ones.

Is it the purpose of these people's lives to live in persistent agony and suffering, then?

Off course, it's her choice, but it's the wrong choice.

Totally agree!
It's about time people realise that mental illnesses are just as destructive as physical ones.

Did you manage to read the whole of my thread? Apparently not.
If you would care to take a proper look I clearly say I am for suicide of the kind other than for terminal, if it is done correctly. By correctly I mean by reassuring their loved ones that they didn't do anything, not to worry, I'm happy now etc...

Please read before blindly posting your views. Thank you for being ever so considerate next time.

I don't believe in anything, personally I'm not going to (I hope) commit suicide, but there is justification on a personal level, and what's the purpose of living? I believe the reason for living is just reproduction. Sometimes people can't find happiness, and some conditions are too painful to live with, logically it makes sense.

Mental illness is as real to the sufferer as cancer. Just because you think its no big deal...

Says who?

So X is severely depressed, he's tried antidepressants and therapy and has had no reprieve from his depression. He tells his family he loves them and wishes to kill himself because having suffered for many years he cannot live any longer in this state. He kills himself the next day. Was that ok in your opinion?

Perhaps you should clearly state your opinion on mental illness in the OP where you state the rest of your opinion next time? Rather than post in little pieces across a few pages. Would make more sense.

What about if all your loved ones had died in an accident, or something?

I think this is too much of a grey, sensitive area to prescribe exact rules.

I think your sarcasmometer needs repairing.

I don't know what you believe in, but suicide is always wrong. You can't justify it. You're not following the purpose of being alive.

I am sorry, but I am not going to say in 3 pages what I have nicley summed up in a few lines. You seem to be the only one with a qualm.

I suppose that suicide was ok. But I wouldn't commit suicide full stop. Before you say 'how would you knowwhat you'd do' I have had a lot of personal experience with this.

I don't care what personal experience you have (though obviously it'd be nice if you did have some before pontificating on this), I was simply pointing out that mental illnesses can ruin lives just as much as physical illnesses.

How nice of you to suppose it's ok for X to finally be free of his constant mental torment.

Some people's purpose in life is martyrdom.

Suicide and martyrdom are very different.

Let'g agree to disagree on this one.
