My favorite NFL chat board just had a posting asking for help by a member who is depressed and suicidal. There was an outpouring of support, and another board member who was also suicidal spoke up and also got lots of support.
At the same time I find suicide something that can be acceptable, as Brittany Maynard showed in one way. I'm also turned on by the idea of consensual snuff, in fact I think if I had been Brittany my last days would have been pretty wild until one day I'd enjoy my Ultimate Orgasm...
So that chat post got me thinking, when is suicide okay? I won't say "if ever" because Ms. Maynard is proof demonstrating it is, as far as I'm concerned. But I jumped in to help save those posters, why? What made me work against suicide for them even though I regard it as okay sometimes. What defines those sometimes?
One part seems easy. The posts were made looking for help, by guys who did not really want to die, and thus did not truly want to kill themselves. So, at least part is it's not okay if the victim does not really want to die.
OTOH death was inevitable for Brittany Maynard, she just got to choose the time place and manner of her death, to avoid inevitably much less desirable situations. But we all will inevitably die, so why isn't the same control of our choices okay for all of us? Well, maybe it is, or maybe the range of situations might need to be constrained, perhaps with some medical conditions. Or perhaps just age? When the body breaks down and it is painful to be alive, why is it not okay to end it? But how pronounced must the deterioration become? I'm already starting to feel my body show the effects of the years and miles, I've got too much living to look forward to be seriously considering these things, but the day will come...
