Assisted suicide? Ever heard of it? It’s pretty much when people help you succeed in committing suicide. Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m all for “Living if there’s hope” and reaching out to people who need mental help. But sometimes you just need to die, perhaps someone is suffering and is in so much pain, they’re rather die. I’m sure the last thing you’d like to do is see someone you love die, but imagine them in pain, suffering every moment of their life. I’m not even talking depression right now, I’m talking about people who feel like they are dying, and there’s no cure, but they probably wont die for a couple of years. Of course they’ll be bed-ridden, suffering, in an incredible amount of pain and all that Hellish stuff. Wouldn’t you want them to rest in peace? With their permission of course, as in, if that’s what they wanted, they should have the right to it. I know it doesn’t sound that great. There are also instances when people are just going to do whatever it takes to kill themselves. A good portion of why people kill themselves is due to financial crisis, so there’s a good chance this person doesn’t have money. So they jump and jump, and the ambulance comes every time, they don’t have money, so tax payers are paying to keep this broke suicidal person alive-even though the person jumping clearly doesn’t want to be saved. I just don’t see the point in that, people have a right to die, it’s as simple as that. I don’t think tax payers should have to pay for people to “be saved” when they’re just going to do out and jump again. It’s ridiculous, it’s madness, it’s insanity. at least, I’m sure Albert Einstein would claim, “saving” someone just for them to end up in the hospital again and again all the while still trying to kill themselves, and hoping he/she will change their mind is just insane. “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” a quote from Einstein himself.There’s also something on the news, possibly not the US news, but I read it in some newspaper nonetheless about a couple using it. Her husband is terminally ill and although she’s healthy, she wishes to leave this Earth when he does. Really it’s a real marriage, not just a “’til Death do us part” crap. It’s an “I love you, and only you, and even after death I wish to be with you.” I think this kind of thing, as sick as it might sound to some, should be appreciated. Especially since divorce rates are so incredibly high. I don’t think it has to do with sex at an early age or not being Christian or anything like that. It’s finding someone you’re really, truly compatible with and then loving them forever, a matter of love and loyalty. It’s a rare and hard thing to find. I’m not surprised this is controversial though, if anything it’s what is classic devotion. Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, they love each other so much, it’s a tragic end, but they love each other so much, they take their lives when they think the other is dead (or when they realize the other is really dead). They left everyone and everything behind for love and it’s sweet. I’ve gotten off topic, well, only a little, I just think if someone wants to die, then they have that right.
