A guy gets married and has 6 kids with his wife. When the youngest is ten, the wife gets dirt under her nails cleaning up after all of them.Why not? I have always found that laws against committing suicide are asinine. If you dont want to be here, so be it. I have no problem with you finishing yourself off if that is truly what you want. Such a process needs to be well thought out, we dont want errors in such a situation but you have dominion over your body. Why not dominion in ending it.
He decides she is not attractive, but his office assistant, who has immaculate fingernails is hot. He knows he could die for her.
He gets a no-contest divorce from his wife of 20 years to marry his office assistant. Miss No-dirt-under-her-nails is caught by him in bed with his best friend at the wedding reception. He is shocked and commits suicide because he cannot tell what few friends he has left after leaving 7 people of his family out in the cold.
His new wife, who prearranged to have her name written on all his property sues for his estate and wins, no one the wiser of her wedding dalliances.
The 6 children and newly ex-wife cannot afford their mortgaged home and are forced into lives of poverty, while Miss Priss gets lifetime manicures.
I'll take the asinine "it's against the law to commit suicide" law, thank you very much. At least the wife who helped inspire her husband through thin times could keep her house if he broke the law with his less-than-lawful act of self-destruction.
All right, this is so far off and completely off the subject it really does not apply to what we are talking about but here is a simple question. In your example:
WHAT EXACTLY did the illegal part of the suicide change anything in the given example?
If this was about what we are talking about, depression would be ruled out first AND it would require that he be terminal in the first place. If he was terminal, what, EXACTLY, would be different if the man in this situation dies 3 months later instead of committing suicide?
The story is emotional. It is wrong what happened. It has NOTHING to do with the discussion. If you have to resort to emotional stories then you have no real ground to debate on.
