Suicide :: essays research papers

Im about to opt up a position which is going to be deamed by some, if non all, as a terrible stand to take. As a matter of fact, if any(prenominal) whiz were to agree with me on ths subject, Id be surprsed. For you see, rather than arguing from the postion of suicide world an unjustified and inane way to die, I shall argue the other point. That being suicide does have its merits. Before you people start screaming, hear my case out. more or less people argue that nothing justifies the taking of someones life. Yet what makes life so valuable? Why do people cling to it so? All we represent of is a bunch of carbon atoms, bound together to form an exoskeleton, organs, and tissue. In this light, there really is not much to life. Out of the 5 billion who lodge the planet, very few of them shall emerge to be true world leaders. The rest will just lead a mediocre life of work and short play. The taking of ones life can be argued from a populistic view as well. It makes little sense to preserve life in an over populated world. True, one less person here on there will not make a large dent. Yet if everyone who attempts or had attempted suicide were not stopped, the impact would be noticed. Another popular argument for stoppers, people who want to prevent suicide, is that nothing can be bad enough. Yet how do they notice this? They do not have to put up with the same stuff the suicide victim does everyday. How could they possibly know what the potential suicide victim feels. but as a severely burned victim may wish to be allowed to die in stillness, the suicide victim wishes the same. To die in peace with no argument from others. The argument of "look at the people you will hurt" also does not hold. Imidiate family members will be the only ones to suffer any great pain. Friends will go on with thier lives and in time forget about the death. Imidiate family too will forget the loss in time. Although it will take most considerably longer for them than it w ill for friends. Finaly, the argument of suicide being selfish is hard to grasp. Selfish in whose eyeball? Certainly not the eyes of the victim. To them, they consider it selfish of others to try and preserve their life.
