Humanity, never has been a good word to describe us all. We have humans out there who enjoy killing others; humans out there who even believe themselves to be vampires and do, yes ‘do, attack others for their blood; even humans who kill themselves! Its humanity all summed up - everyone is different, we only know who ‘we’ are.

The last one of that list of three, was obviously suicide. Its my believe that everyone at one point in life thinks about ending his or her life. They see it as a way out, an ‘exit’ from the living hell they are obviously in at that time. Even I have put myself in the place of nearly ‘finishing’ myself of, and now you will ask why?

When you are at the lowest of all your life, and only sixteen years old, not understanding anything that goes on around you. When you see others slowly dying while living of each other, when your family is the new definition of parasitism.
Then I will ask you to ask me why again. Its like all doors around you have been shut, and there you are stuck in that room, while an object or one last means left. Taking that object looks like the best thing possible at the time, its only the experienced of strongest who survived. When you are there, you will know the pain and suffering, but only for yourself.

I remember summing up the scales, looking at who would miss me, and this was indeed before I had taken my first Philosophy lesson. It seemed to me that everybody would meet their harbor in life, this was going to be my way out. Your next question then... why am I still here?

The simple answer, maybe that I was not ready to ground my lifeboat into the harbor. I knew I had something that nobody else had, I had the experience of being myself. It is not for me as this individual to say it is wrong for someone to commit suicide, it is a waste of ones life, but does that person have the right to continue living. Is always another question.

It is told that Hitler did commit suicide. Was that wrong? For who?

I would agree, I would rather be a disastisfied Socrates, then a satisfied beggar.

That make sense?

hmm... I was actually expecting something on euthenasia. But anyhow. I don't think people should commit suicide because of a situation they are in. I know that certain situations cause people enormous amounts of pain and grief, but think- you only get one chance at this life. Isn't it better to suffer the circumstances, and come out the other side so you will have some enjoyable experiences and have some happiness in your life.

But that does raise another question. I just said that situations can cause huge amounts of pain and grief, and I meant that emotionally. What about those with terminal illness that aren't going to get better and wish to kill themselves? I just said that I didn't think people in emotional pain should kill themselves, and emotional pain can be much more damaging to the individual than any physical pain. So should people in physical pain that simply will not get better until they die be allowed to take their own lives, or have someone help them take their life?

I don't think anyone can answer this question rightly or wrongly. If someone is near the end of their life and is facing the rest of their life in great pain, should we let them kill themselves if they wish to? I don't think anyone is qualified to answer that.
