Have you ever been so miserable as to be suicidal? Have you ever considered ending your life to end your suffering?<br /><br />If your answer is "no", then kindly butt out.<br /><br />You need more empathy. Recent Australian studies have sown that NINETY PER CENT of people who have a loved one who sought voluntary euthanasia also support a change in the law.<br /><br />It's a Newspoll conducted in 2007. I would strongly encourage you to look it up.Winstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14029187310122412297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2654455663519806899.post-22797619802129944402013-05-31T06:11:03.987-07:002013-05-31T06:11:03.987-07:00I guess that means you knwo him Winston and discus...I guess that means you knwo him Winston and discussed his reasosn with him? (Which might make you an accessory...)Vulnerability to suicide is usually reckoned by people who aork hard to understand it, to be any of a number of factors,including:<br />life history(traumatic experience during childhood, a history of sexual or physical abuse or a history of parental neglect)<br />serious mental health issues, such as schizophrenia<br />lifestyle e.g. misuse drugs/alcohol<br />unemployment - one of the big reasons <br />social isolation<br />being a victim of bullying or having few close relationships<br />genetics and family history<br /><br />A principle of compassion is that an attempted suicide is a cry for help - people sometimes cry for help by craving attention.<br /><br />Sadly more than 6000 people were succesful in committing suicide last in Britain year - what made this man so different? I think Peter is right about anyone travelling to a Swiss carpark to choke to death on a poison for up to an hour and pay thousands for it must at least raise soem tintelligent questions - rahter than ignorant responses.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04909130372272794686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2654455663519806899.post-7472167891316756342013-05-31T04:20:50.981-07:002013-05-31T04:20:50.981-07:00I think they'd accept anyone willing to pay.
