Salute All Suicides (both succeeded and postpones)

[Euthanza]

Just found this old article, adding "positive" suicide nuance. I think it's worth reading, sorry if someone have already posted before.

I've never seen that article posted on here before, so it's good that you shared it. It's a really well written article, and I'm glad that for once it's not a pro life article focused on suicide prevention with hotlines at the end of it. For many people life is simply not worth living and that is a fact.

Suicide is stunning and brave. Excuse the tongue-in-cheek.

I've just read the article and at the part where the author mentioned about how exercise helped him I was starting to become skeptical that it may become one of those trite platitudes, but gave the author a benefit of a doubt and carried on reading the rest of the article. It is a good article and focuses on the courage of attemptors (whether they are successful or not). It indeed does immense courage (and more too) to carry out such an act against one's own biological imperative and survival instinct (self-preservation mechanism) that is diametrically opposed to death. Also, last but not least, at least the author did not put the pesky hotline on the article.

Clearly a controversy to majority of public opinion, but I do think like the author

There's no suicide hotline in my country, whenever they say "seek help" they interpret that as professional help from psychologists or psychiatrists, both don't prescribe Nembutal neither approve suicide so it's not "help" the way I need it to be.
