Suicide

[Jazzy]

No, suiciding isn't an answer for anything, many people commited this crime

Since when is committing suicide a crime?

 

[DrLeftover]

In many jurisdictions, attempting and failing IS a crime.

I don't think it should be legal; as they say, Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. I think people should try to block negativity in their lives, if they can. As they say, it does get better, you just have to hold on for the bumpy ride.

As someone who has in the past attempted suicide, this is a horribly stupid thing to say. When you reach that low point you can't see a way out. Even if it were possible to just block negativity you'd just be left with nothingness.

 

[DrLeftover]

The best way I know to block negativity in my life would be to not go back to work Monday.



However, as I like to eat and live someplace with indoor plumbing, that isn't a viable option.



Now, having said that, I'll say this, again: taking yourself out of the game at a time of your own choosing IS the last 'human right'.



It is just not a Right I ever see myself exercising.

Rash of Ky. lawyer suicides concerns colleagues

They are among at least a dozen lawyers in Kentucky who have committed suicide since 2010, including three in Louisville and three in Northern Kentucky. Half died in the past 12 months. All were men, their average age 53, and most were trial lawyers.

Kentucky doesn't track suicides by occupation. But citing his recollection from 38 years of practice — and amid studies that show lawyers are six times more likely to kill themselves than the general population — Kentucky Bar Association President Doug Myers said the number of suicides among the state's 17,500 lawyers is "disproportionate" and "disconcerting."
