Thats why i have agreement with my twin, that if i am in anyway permanently mentaly impaired that he is to kill me. Gun to the face. Yeah, i specified the weapon.

At some point in time the quality of life no longer merits life at all.

@Dibbletikijr I'm gonna say this one last time for all the morons on here. I am in favor of assisted suicide. Learn to read, retard.

[MrGreengaming]

@3:25 he didn't kill the depressed

We should have the power to make our own decisions. The government and the lady at the end should not have to power to make our decisions for us. Its not her place to tell people what they can and cannot do, regardless of whatever it is.

Fuck! I hate that bitch at the end.

She says that if the community offered the resources suicidal wannabes needed, everything would be flowery rose gardens.

The reason why people are left alone to commit suicide is that either, nobody knows how to help the poor soul, or no one really wants to help him\her in the first place, for fear of being labeled suicidal weirdos themselves.

Bottom line is, in this beauty and money world, when a poor soul decides to end his suffering, who are we to say no?

I value life, that's number 1, so I'm against anykind of muder/killing. I understand that some people may feel hopeless and may think that there's no way out but killing yourself only going to make it worst. Suicide is one issue but helping someone kill themselves is incredible (not in a good way) I mean, if someone asked me to help them kill themselves I wouldn't participate, instead I will take that as a cry for help and try to give them guidance and reference, am i wrong for that?

[SuperStrik9]

Anyone that is against a terminally ill person choosing to end their suffering is, more often than not: a narcissist, religious, healthy enough where life's worth living, and usually in the end a hypocrite. Hypocrite b/c when it's them that's suffering they change their tune all of a sudden and now it's ok. There are some exceptions but not many imo.

What a dumb bitch

[almgAreMyInitials]

[harvardsmartass]

3:14 this bitch should should up there are some diseases that DOCTORS CANNOT ALIVIATE I AM VERY AGAINST THE FUCKING GOVERNMENT TELLING ME WHAT TO DO WITH MY LIFE. I AM PRO I-1000

[dkmann1987]

@Action52TheMovie Whether it be a terminal illness or not, one should have the choice, regardless. I am by all standards a "healthy" human being. I, for reasons unbeknownst to others, simply do not care to continue existence as is. In a nutshell, people disgust me. This plane of existence bores me and I would like to move on. Death is part of life and it should not be mourned or looked down upon. Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only converted. Thereis a continuation after death.
