i'm not sure if it was said, but what of the people that say they are going to commit suicide and actually do with a "success" or a "failed" attemp? i have personally seen this happen.
actually i'll admit up and tell that it was myself. i said it, did it, but it was a failure. yes, the state of mind was in a irrational way. under serious amounts of stress combined with different factors. details? how did i manage to fail at my attempt? no, i don't think that is a explanation i want to share.
don't naturally assume someone who says they're going to is a cry for help. sometimes, they really do follow through, whether or not they "succeeded" or "failed"
to give my opinion on it so as to not have completely derailed the thread. help someone prevent it if they say it. keep watch around family and friends for signs that they're not saying it and could be a possible. sometimes stopping it will make them grateful they didn't. sometimes not. i have my days where i don't say a word about the past and wish that i hadn't "failed". did someone come to stop me? no.
but, as for those that are in a state of like some said, terminally ill cancer, or they're have some quite serious problems that is only prolonging the inevitable, assisted would be something that they should be given a choice of. some may wish to stay around to the end to spend more time with the family. some don't wish to stay in their state of being with it being a torture to themselves. selfish? yes.
(trying to start getting into posting more but i feel sometimes i kill out a thread since i'm the last one and no one else says anything else lol)
