Maybe the only thing I disagree with on that website, is the idea that the "fear of death is irrational, but the fear of dying is rational." How do we determine the rationality of any kind of fear? I had thought all fears to be irrational by their very nature? As well, their rationality, or lack thereof, shouldn't fully determine how seriously we take them. Ultimately I think that we should respect personal feelings when they do no harm to others, and that includes fear that cannot be assuaged.

From the onset It seems fairly well put together. However, the english section seems to be severely lacking and I don't speak enough French to make a final conclusion. I still appreciate you sharing it with us though, thank you.

I think it's written from the perspective of an atheist who doesn't believe in afterlife or reincarnation. So being dead isn't scary because there's nothing. You can't fear nothing because you can't experience it.

The act of dying can be scary because it is something you do have to go through and you can experience.

Of course it is all philosophical and there isn't a right or wrong. It depends on the persons own perspective. I think there are tons of people that are afraid of nothing because that means they can't experience anything at all, even the nice moments or the things they look forward to. So I agree with you on "How do we determine the rationality of any kind of fear?"

This is a good find. Thanks for sharing @Alucard.

Thank you for your messages. I think we really need a voice. Suicidal people are forgotten or despised, it must change.

Nicely done! If I could not think about suicide, I'd be dead already as well.

thx for sharing @Alucard ... I specially like the concept of making suicide kits available
