You should be allowed to die whenever you want. It's your body, your right. It shouldn't be regulated at all. A persons right to do as they please with their own body should not be trumped by society's feelings on the matter. There is no liberty in that belief.

I'm religious but I agree with this video completely--life should be enjoyable, that's why it's unreasonable for people to think it's fine for a person to be in constant pain so long as they're "alive". What kind of a life is that?

LOL I'm back ''for their mental state their live is not worth living'' it's painful to talk to you ... So What are you saying is that Obama should kill himself right now because he has depression and his life is not worth living bitch your argument is invalid I'mout talking to you anymore would be an insult to humanity

Finally I would like to point out the dangers that this so-called "right to die" present.

First of all, it could bring us to the slippery slope, which ultimately leads to Nazism.

It also brings a general depreciation of human life along with the destruction of the ethical principles of medicine.

(Never forget that injustice is beyond consent)

[VerbierSkier]

(continued) The RIGHT to die has no natural basis and no rational basis. It is based on nihilism (and relativism). It is arbitrary and is not stopped by contradiction. The real solution is not assisted suicide (active euthanasia) but palliative care. There is a right to be accompanied in the final moments of your life, as opposed to the "right to die" which does not exist (I think I've made myself clear on that topic).

[VerbierSkier]

The "Right To Die" sure does make a good slogan, but if you actually think about it, it's absurd. There is no such thing as a "Right" to die. A right is not the same thing as a need, a desire or a capacity. Above all, a right is not a liberty. You have the liberty to commit suicide, but you do not have a right to commit suicide. A right implies an obligation from someone else. A "Right To Die" is literally absurd, because you can not have a right for something that is inevitable, death. cntinued

I'm an atheist and I agree somehow with the first part, but you didn't illuminate our minds The government is working on this problem for years I don't see the point of this video and the 2th part is just bullshit There are people with mental discorders everywhere. For you knowledge everyone has mentally discorders and It seems you have more mentally discorders than 50% of all of us. How can you be that dumb to say that there are no cure for people with severe mental discorders?

Some regulation would have to be passed on parents with small children. Maybe you're depressed and your life isn't worth living anymore. But putting two toddlers in the foster care system because you'd rather end it and pass on your responsibility as a parent onto your society so you don't have to deal with it... that's not acceptable. At least not while our foster care system is still in its current state.

Jumping in front of a train because your girlfriend/boyfriend left you...

Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former"-Albert Einstein

If you still decide to commit suicide at least have some decency. Don't jump in front of a train!

Many train drivers remain traumatized after. If your're doing in a train station not only the train driver but also the passengers will be horrified.

@brndnrckn You cannot say in the same breath that you believe in the rights of everyone AND that the right to harm and/or kill yourself should be outlawed. Also, everyone has the right to die. It's a requirement.
