What would you say to someone considering to take their life.

[Mr. Ed]

It would be difficult for me to be truthful about the value of life.

 

[hollydolly]

Depends on the circumstances, and why they want to end their life !

What Holly said.

The term right to die has been interpreted in many ways, including issues of suicide, passive euthanasia, active euthanasia, assisted suicide, and physician-assisted suicide.

I'd say don't do it, kiddo.

 

[Sliverfox]

Why are you afraid to face the future?

You are stronger than you think.

 

[Jules]

Have you thought about how this will affect your children/wife/parents. I had to say this to someone.

 

[gracy225]

As someone who has MS, (primary progressive), my thoughts on suicide have changed. No one wants to be a burden to family etc., and I believe physician assisted should be available to all who have a disease with no cure.

 

[Mr. Ed]

I would say it may be the last choice you make.
Can I get a show of hands?
The ays have it pull the plug

 

[Rose65]

I would say please tell me about it. Then I would listen.

"You're gonna linger, near death for years & in incredible pain, if you screw this up!" It may be days or weeks before anyone cares to look for you, there suffering. You want to study the most effective methods, choose wisely and pre practice it. You shouldn't expect any caring assistance afterwords, you're on your own. Best to ya, but seriously I doubt you ask me about it or for assistance!

What would you say to someone considering to take their life.​

Happened here a few years back

I offered to 'help'

We became good friends

Trying again... I hate to think that I went down without a fight...

"Have a little fun with it! Rent a Lamborghini, get high, and drive it off a cliff."

 

[Sunny]

Depends on the reason. What if they were dying anyway of a horrible disease, and are near the end? That's one extreme where I would agree with them, but all I could offer them is my emotional support.

At the other end of the scale, what if they were a distraught teenager whose girlfriend had just broken up with them?

It's all in the reasons.

 

[MarkinPhx]

I would not say anything to them. I would give them this number and not leave their side until they make the call or help arrives

 

[hearlady]

Wait six months. Things can look entirely different.

 

[Manatee]

Why would want to do that to your family?

 

[LoveTulips]

It depends on the situation. Hope I never have to.
