I have a problem with folk topping themselves. It shows a weakness of character & as said is selfish if your'e leaving family & loved ones to grieve. I've been in a few situations over the years where folk have done (or attempted to do themselves in)...prison, death of friends/family, breakdown of relationships, kept from children etc. I always think when you're at the bottom you can only go up, so suicide is weak.
That said we all deal with things differently & i don't think suicide or euthanasia should be illegal. Weak or not our lives are our own to do as we please with, not forgetting the terminally ill who if they choose should be afforded some dignity.
Lastly i don't know if any of you are aware of a case of a 19/20 years old english girl, leading a happy life & on a gap year in Australia (i think) decided she's simply had enough. Did'nt want to strive, go through Uni, career, marriage, children, all the normal stages of life. Nothing was wrong, she was'nt upset at anything in particular she just could'nt be bothered, too much of a drag, so she jumped leaving the explanatory note. Makes you think.
