The Importance Of Suicide

This is weak once one looks at the reasons why murder is wrong. Murder is wrong because of various reasons – denying someone the right to life, causing fear in people that they might be murdered, the grief that the loved ones will suffer, etc. All of these are inapplicable to assisted suicide. The person has waived their right to life by consenting to suicide, there is no fear that would be caused if only those who are terminally ill and consent are killed, and the grief is inevitable anyways as death is imminent. They go on further to make an analogy with starving children [1].

Obviously, Camus views suicide as not being the right response to the feeling of absurdity, but also that contemplation is wrong. Suicide is seen as wrong because it is showing the world that you are giving up and that it is too much too handle. Suicide will not fix the problem of the absurd. Individually you might think that dying is going to take away your problems and it might, but it is only going to create more issues. One suicide can lead to another and create a chain reaction.

Another popular argument for stoppers, people who want to prevent suicide, is that nothing can be bad enough. Yet how do they know this? They do not have to put up with the same stuff the suicide victim does everyday. How could they possibly know what the potential suicide victim feels. Just as a severely burned victim may wish to be allowed to die in peace, the suicide victim wishes the same.

The Rationale of Suicide Suicide is the killing of one’s self. Irrational suicide connotes the killing of one’s self because of a mental illness or done impulsively during an overwhelming crisis. Persons feeling this way almost always lack self-esteem and rarely talk openly with appropriate loved ones about what they plan on doing. The act is usually committed alone and in secret which are often very violent and may disregard the health, safety, and well being of others. Persons who receive adequate treatment prior to an attempt, or failed attempt are often grateful to those who stopped the attempt or sought help for that person.

While other types of deaths elicit sympathy or even anger if there was foul play involved in the taking of a life, suicide is shrouded with feelings of shame and embarrassment for the family and loved ones left behind. Does a person have the right to subject his or family to that sort of hurt? For example, if a loved one is suffering from an extended, painful, terminal illness? There are no further chances for survival and the individual is faced with nothing more than a slow immeasurable wait for the end, would committing suicide seem more reasonable in that situation? Would it make the suicide more palatable if the person was destined for death anyway?

Depression is powerful and makes the idea of suicide a valid solution. Depressed can make you see death as a bridge to God or a cure for the pain we are going through. Depression has a way of destroying you, it makes you think you’re worthless and you start putting yourself down. It is not normal to think of taking your own life. Our bodies are made to survive and fight to live, but when our emotions become so damaged we are desperate for it to

Individuals seem to commit suicide when they feel pressured by society. Suicidal people have problems and feel there is no alternative, their best solution would be to die. The individual cannot fathom the fact that maybe they can fix their problems. Unquestionable suicide is not the answer to anyone's problems. If society worked together to help suicidal individuals in distress know that there is a solution, then maybe we would have less suicide.

Suicide is often carried out as a result of despair, the cause of which is frequently attributed to a mental disorder such as depression. Most traditions deem self-imposed death as an unspeakable taboo and do not understand exactly why there would be any logic behind the act. Thinking you are better off dead can be due to many causes, whether it is emotional stress or even knowing death is inevitable. Those who contemplate suicide or have made attempts believe that there is no other solution. Humes asks the question.

Individuals must have the power to decide if they want to put an end to their life. Suicide might be the only solution to someone’s problem. Some would say it is a selfish act, but all the people do selfish things through their lives. Unbelievably committing suicide is illegal in some states. But to be more specific actually attempting suicide is illegal, because if it is done you are dead, but in case of failure, the person would face more drama in their life.

The individual seemingly hopeless conflict with the world, decides to end his or her existence in what amounts to a final assault against a society that can no longer be tolerated. In so doing, the person tries to obtain a final revenge on everything and everyone that has caused their feelings of depression. Attempts at suicide, and suicidal thoughts of feelings are usually symptom indicating that a person isn?t coping, often as a result of some event or series of events that they personally find overwhelmingly traumatic or distressing. In many cases, the events in question will pass, their impact can be mitigated, or their overwhelming nature will gradually fade if the person is able to make constructive choices about dealing with the crisis when person is able to make constructive choices about dealing with the crisis when it is at its worst. Suicide is intentional self-inflicted acts that end in death.
