[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why can't people just respect the decision of those who choose to end their lives? I don't want to end up helpless and dependent. I have the means and the will to end it before that happens, I hope. Don't judge me.

We arent talking about a sick person who is going to end up helpless. We are talking about an otherwise person with Clinical Depression whose brain is lying to them. Please tell me you understand the difference.[/quote]

DP -- This where things get fuzzy for me.  Suicide is a mental disorder ... unless you're facing a painful, physically incapacitating condition or near terminal?

In any case, anyone else considering it should get counseling to figure things out.  Take care of yourself, OP.[/quote]

DP you don't get it, clearly. Suicide isn't a mental disorder- no one said that. Depression with suicidal thoughts - that's a mental disorder. Depression LIES and tells you that you are worthless, a burden and everyone is better off without you around. There is usually nothing physically wrong with your body other than your brain chemistry is out of whack. Depression is completely IRRATIONAL and ILLOGICAL.

If a person RATIONALLY knows that they are terminally ill with cancer or ALS etc. and they don't want a long, drawn out death then sure go for it. That is more like euthanasia than suicide.

Do you get it now? One involves your brain messing with you and the other is that you are dying of something else already.[/quote]
