Legalize Suicide

Name: Anonymous 2011-11-27 21:29

I want the right to kill myself. There shouldn't even be a discussion about it. I want the right to decide what happens to my own body in this most basic forms of self-control. Friends and family should respect that, and if they don't give me that right, and think that I should endure all sorts of suffering just for their selfish pleasures, then they can piss off. I am of sound mind, and I have reasons to live, but that right should be up to me. If I breathe should be my decision. If my organs work should be my decision. My entire body is not the property of everyone who happens to know me. If they really want me around so much that they would miss me if I die, then they should work for it. I am not their property, and they are not my friends if they think that they can blame me in any way for determining my own fate.

This kind of reasoning is like saying that a rape victim is being selfish and hurting the dependent rapist, isn't it?
It is ultimately my body and my life. Not even a wife with children should have any right to force her will on my body.
Selfishness requires that I would have something to gain from killing myself, when it is actually the very opposite: I would give my self up for nothing. It is the ultimate selfless selfsacrificing act, but the reason that you call it "selfish" is because you think of it as somebody stealing something from you, like if a person "belongs" to you, like some form of property.
If I would choose to leave a wife and child behind for some reason, it's because of far greater suffering. The bond that people feel to eachother, is bullshit compared to the bond that a person has to ones life.
