i agree... it is a real freedom, cause we have no choice when we are born, but we have some choice when we decide to go. i just wish it was easier and that everybody could just push a button or die peacefully whenever they want to.. no matter weather it is physical or mental pain or both - nobody deserves to suffer.. and when your happy and want to live- fine, but if you are suffering since years and yearn for freedom it should also be accepted.

It pisses me off when people keep using the selfishness card. What about people who genuinely don't having a caring family? A lot of people are in this situation. Actually, many who commit suicide do so because of lack of support, so this argument doesn't seem to make much sense to me. Whenever I see reports of a family bemoaning the loss of their relative due to suicide, I'm always sceptical. I don't think anyone who is truly loved would ever need to contemplate suicide, it is only those who feel unloved that do.

I'm surrounded by a wide and strong support system but chronic physical pain is what makes me actively consider suicide.

i agree to a point but its not only those who feel unloved that do... i for instance have suicidal toughts since years and i had have people in my life that truly cared, but it didnt help. some people just haver certain tendencies, and even being surrounded by family or even kids or your dog or whoever it is doesnt bring you back to see the positive sites of life
