Do you believe in suicide?

Hi, Indeed suicide is the only way out of long-term pain when no other answer has been found and the person cannot wait any more because it is unbearable for them. Anyone who does not understand this entirely forgivable action can for sure not have been in such desperate need for relief.

When speaking to a friend recently, I asked him to think of it as someone needing Dignitas euthanasia but unable to recieve it. I hoped that may help him to undersatnd to some degree, without being in the position himself.

I am also of the belief that Euthanasia and Suicide are different. With Euthanasia, usually (not always), family/friends get to say goodbye properly; while Suicide is a self-appointed affair that leaves so many questions un-answered. Then one may argue that, if someone is killed in a traffic accident after an argument can also lead to unbearable emotions for those left behind. Still, suicide is a selfish act in my eyes - even if I can kind of understand the hopelessness one can feel that leads to thinking you're useless and that other's are better off without you. Still, friends of mine that had partners or friends taking their lives in this way, have stuck by them, watched over them, tried to protect and reassure them - It is impossible to understand why the person who killed themselves couldn't see the love they were given. What they probably saw was that they were a burden. As for wanting to die because of physical pain that cannot get better; I believe that is perfectly understandable.
