| Should Attempted Suicide Be Made Punishable ? Posted: 5/11/2008 10:16:45 AM | People that try to commit suicide need help not punishment! Maybe they're just attention seeking, maybe they've had a traumatic experience & want to escape it. The reason's dont matter. How you react can be the difference between them trying again or making it through & living a happy & fulfilled life | |

| Should Attempted Suicide Be Made Punishable ? Posted: 5/11/2008 1:59:46 PM | it used to be punishable, now its not. Never changed the amounts that tried, who would honestly care if you really wanted to die ? To be punished would not stop someone trying, the end result ie; death, out weighs the 'oh what if i fail and get put in prison'?
Ive seen some new pics recently of a state of the art prison, boy could I live there !!!
Prison is not punishment( here goes oh great reformer.. )
If all fails, claim you were garotted and instigate a moral panic . | |

| Should Attempted Suicide Be Made Punishable ? Posted: 5/11/2008 2:18:38 PM | why punish people who are in such a state of distress?
as for it being selfish, possibly in some cases but what state of mind is someone in to resort to such an act? | |

There is nothing worse than having someone running around moaning all the time. Have centres around the country that people can walk into and within five minutes of entering, the job is done. Besides, they are not going to regret the decision if they are dead. | |

| Should Attempted Suicide Be Made Punishable ? Posted: 5/12/2008 10:30:40 AM | | There are people who attempt suicide again and again over a period of years, and threaten suicide to their family members too. What about these people? Does anyone think they actually want to be dead if they have "tried" so many times? or is it a cry for help? And what if they have been given all the support, from families, the health services and various organizations that can possibly be given? what do we do then? It can drain a lot of money from the health service when the money could be spent on curing cancer or treating others who are are suffering but want to live. | |

| Should Attempted Suicide Be Made Punishable ? Posted: 5/12/2008 1:37:50 PM | | I'm sure whatever punishment could be dished out would be nothing compared to the self punishment depressives put themselves through. But to punish someone for attempting to end their own life? Don't be stupid! The law was changed because people realised it was a stupid thing to do. If it got re-introduced it would simply be a way for the police to increase arrests and tell us that they are solving more crimes. | |

thats great for the reasons of euthanasia....only it normally refers to terminally ill... not depressed. or mentally ill. If every person with depression, could end their lives the same way as euthanasia if it were ever lawful here, then there would be uproar in the oath of doctors in preserving life.
Good god, just imagine ?
people with mental illness need help, stigma and labelling need reducing. What century are we in again ?? | |
