Question: Is suicide ever justified!?
outside of reasons where someone is in intense physical pain, do you think there ever is a situation where it is ok for someone to kill themselves such as them being ugly, a life of pain and on top of that hormonal problems which causes them to have a lowered sex drive and a physiological depression
Do you think people that kill themselves often regret it after they take that final blow or overdose and they realize there is probably no way back, do you think people who kill themselves are really looking for a cry for help, or do you think someone can be 100% certain that they want to die, it seems unnatural to kill yourself as no other animal kills themselves and the natural instinct is to survive and liveWww@QuestionHome@Com

Ever!? Only in very extreme circumstances!. Too many people who have attempted suicide are so happy they didn't succeed!. A cry for help, yes, very often it is!. I guess I stand somewhere in between Ask Me and Birdie!.
Animals may not kill themselves, but neither do they have doctors who try to prolong their lives far past the point when life is worth living!. Most pet owners have their severely ill furball companions put to sleep as a kindness, even though it breaks their hearts!. I've done it, and don't consider myself a murderer!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
No it's never justified!.
You didn't bring yourself into this world and it would be wrong to get yourself out!.
Your life doesn't belong to you, it's owned by some higher god who put you on this earth and he gave you a little thing called free will!.
You just decide whether you want to kill yourself and be selfish, or live it up and just hope for the day when death comes as it's supposed to!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
Well, I believe in a death(physical being) but not an afterlife!. If I had to kill myself to save people that were deserving or worth saving, I would do it in a heartbeat!. Suicide is confusing, it can be done for many reasons, but if the person fells overwhelmed, I'd say, "It's your choice, no one else can make it for you!." I'm somewhat in the middle!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
Ugly is a state of mind!. I know people that most would consider ugly and in my eyes they are beautiful!. I can understand if someone is in mortal pain and wants to end it!. Looks have nothing to do with it!. My husband is older than me and he calls himself ugly! I love him and love his intelligence! That is rare with guys my age! He is my baby!Www@QuestionHome@Com
Case in point: flight 93!.
People on board that flight died a heroic death, stopping terror from taking place!. Death is unavoidable but in their cases they ushered it in with earnest!. Suicide, in other words!.
Many other cases where one chose to parish to save the others!.
So my answer is yes, when others could be saved with suicide as the only option!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
I believe it's a personal choice!. Even though it's selfish because it's the people left behind who suffer, some people can't escape their emotional pain so who am I to say that they should have to live through it!.
