This is an extremely difficult question to answer. I think people have the right to do what they want with their own lives. But they MUST take into consideration , the feelings of their friends and family.
Some people have been mentally or physically hurt so severely that people around them who have hope for them could never understand their pain. And although it is always good to hope for life and recovery, in some cases the pain may be too great and they will live in extreme torture.
The following is very graphic and NSFW. Do not read on if you are sensitive and may be distrubed by certain content.
After reading that , an extreme case what do you think?
People should always try to be brave, if not for themselves for the ones who want them to survive and who depend on them. They should hang on as long as they can.
I believe in hope and to be optimistic as well as to help no matter what but in the end it should be up to the person to be the judge of his or her own life.
What is your view on suicide? Utilizing the word "view" implies subjective opinion. In other words, you're presupposing that there is no definitive correct answer to the question. Which is fine, but it's important to recognize the distinction in order to properly answer the subsequent questions.
Is it wrong or right? Okay, you started off with "what's your opinion", then immediately jumped right into a question on ethics and morality. In order for concepts like right and wrong to have any value, they require (A) that certain absolute truths are knowable (ie, NOT a matter of opinion) and (B) that those truths are based upon an authority that is higher than ourselves (ie, God).
If you attempt to extend attributes of "right" or "wrong" to a situation without a basis for truth and authority, you're basically just talking out your butt. So back to the first question: "What is your view...?" If it's an opinion you seek, then you're better off leaving "right" and "wrong" out of it. What you really want to know is if it's "good/bad" or "better/worse". These are relative measurements that can easily adapt to the individual, family, society, region, or government. What's good for one person may be bad for someone else.
Do we have the right to end our lives? Wow, I guess it depends on what you mean by "right". In the previous question, "right" referred to a moral correctness. Now it seems you're using the word to indicate a legal or self-evident empowerment that allows you to self-terminate without judgement of wrong-doing.
I suppose you'd have to define from where your "rights" derive. Is it from God? The government? Nature? Your own personal sense of self-worth?
Here's the deal: You've got two ways to handle questions like this. Now, keep in mind, that this is dependent on a strict understanding of what you mean by "suicide". For the purposes of answering the question, I'm going to assume you mean suicide as a direct result of depression or something similar.
In other words, we're not talking about a heroic soldier leaping onto a live grenade to protect his comrades from danger. Or anyone who sacrifices their life for the benefit of others.
We're talking about someone who just wants to end it all because they want the emotional pain to stop.
Okay, so back to the two ways to handle it. Either there is a higher power (ie, God) that provides meaning, purpose, and rules (right/wrong) to the whole show, or there's not.
If there's NOT a higher power, then morality is what you make of it. Your "rights" are defined in any way you see fit. And like your thoughts on this subject, your feelings are nothing more than chemical responses that result from random events that have no meaning other than that they resulted in our existence. In which case, the majority of people frown at suicide because it subconsciously reminds them of their own mortality. Of course, most of us empathize, but few (within the context of a Godless universe) are able to logically explain why we should care one way or the other. At least, not in any meaningful way.
If you're in this category, you're best bet is to identify that your thoughts and emotions cannot be trusted. Seek help from a professional who can get your head screwed on right. Once you're thinking straight, you can then decide what to do next. After all, you don't want to make drastic choices when your judgement is impaired.
If there IS a God, then your answer is simple. You have value. You have purpose. And you should definitely not take your own life, because it is fundamentally wrong. The wrongness of it is etched clearly on your soul, and any attempt to justify it is easily recognizable as an "easy way out". To end your life prematurely is to cut short the potential that God saw in you.
Solution: Don't stop fighting. Don't stop seeking help. Don't stop breathing and eating and taking another step. There is a reason for your existence, and it is not so you can die.
In sociology, there are two situations that cause a person to commit suicide, namely the internal factors themselves and external factors of the external environment.
Whatever the cause of someone committing suicide, there are always parties who agree and not. I myself did not approve of suicide. The reasons underlying my thinking are divided into two groups, namely, the first reason for universal norms and values in the community, and second is religious views on suicides.
The most common view of suicide is that a person cannot commit suicide, for any reason.
If we know someone's suicide plan then our good morals will definitely make us try to prevent that from happening. Some opinions why prohibited suicide is:
1. Suicide means to waste life that is owned and very contrary to human reason because in its nature man is born to continue to fight for his life,
not stop his life.
2. Suicide actions have the potential to harm others, starting with family, relatives and fellow victims. The abandoned family will certainly feel very lost with the departure of the victim, especially by knowing the case of suicide the family is far more sad.
Suicide can cause feelings of guilt in the family of the victim or the people closest to him and can interfere with the survival of others. Other than that, suicides can also cause other people to be suspected of motivating the act of suicide and making it deal with the law. Special Cases when a person lives alone and all members of his family are dead and he wants to commit suicide, this is also not justified because suicide is not a way out at all to face a problem, there must be things that can still be done to save the person from the problem.
We absolutely have the right to end our own lives. I have suffered from suicidal depression my entire life and it took me a long time to really understand it. I think it's also something that's extremely difficult for people who don't suffer from it to understand.
It can be incredibly painful and unbearable at times. We can't control it. And I think that people have the right to end that pain if need be. I am by NO MEANS condoning suicide; but I do not see it as a selfish act whatsoever. People with chronic depression cannot control it, and it often has no relation to how "successful" or whatever is going on in their life. It is, not in all but in many like myself, a neurological condition. One in which your brain literally fights you, not always constantly, but frequently.
It's very difficult to understand unless you have lived through it. Many people live with it their entire lives, leading successful, happy lives; but it still ultimately wins. Look at Anthony Bordain, or Kate Spade, or Robin Williams. All very successful and happy people, leading very full lives with the world at their fingertips, who suffered from a neurological battle to stay alive. Ultimately, they lost, but they also were probably in a *lot* of pain.
Again, I am by no means condoning suicide. But I think it is that person's choice. It can be unbearable, and it is ultimately up to them. It is not right, it is not wrong. But it *certainly* is not selfish. I think that's a guilt we should not put on people battling a fight for their lives.
There is no 'right' and there is no 'wrong'; we are sovereign mistresses and masters of our destiny and as such are able and entitled to end our physical existence should we wish it.
However, there are consequences that are inescapable and which make the act of suicide utterly unattractive.
I have chosen my life and the basic set of experiences that I encounter through situations throughout. I have done this in order to learn from experience and to grow. Growth takes place once I have understood my experiences and assimilated their lessons. This life is but one of many, akin to taking different classes at a school or university, life after life continually expanding and growing.
However, bailing out early through an act of suicide simply means that I will have to return and repeat some of the experiences in order to learn from them, rather than run away. It is this awareness of consequence that makes suicide such an unattractive prospect. Everything passes, everything changes, as will the suicidal state of mind. Dawn after all, comes immediately after the darkest part of the night!
Most people commit suicide due to depression,but no matter what problems anyone is facing iin my own
opinion i believe that it is bad for him or her to end our lives,suicide is not the best option......Well we were
created by the almighty God and according to what he said in the bible,the bible made us to understand that suicide is a sin and so when you commit suicide you
have also sinned against God and also committing suicide will put your loved ones into a situation that will make them feel very hurt after loosing you so before you
commit suicide you need to think about the consequences and you need to realize that when there is life there is still hope....but also the truth is that most of
those people that commit suicide never wished to do it personally but the depression is just too much for them to handle and sucide becomes the best option they
think they have,please anyone no matter the depression you are facing,please talk to someone about it so that you can help,and also we all need to start having the
habit of helping depressed people around us,we should show them genuine love and do our best to assist them to get out of the depression...
I always get amazed and shocked whenever i hear that someone commits suicide,i do not think
it is right for anybody to take their own life with their hands because it is not right at all,though those that usuallly commit suicide do it out of
frustration due to life challenges,some do it because they are so depressed and so tired of life,but no matter what anyone is facing i will
advice them not to think of suicide because suicide will not solve the challenges they are facing,infact it adds to the problem...

This is just my opinion
Well, that's a loaded question.
Actually, it's three very distinct questions:

No because by suicide you hurt all of your close ones aswell
Suicide should not be an option for anybody
because suicide is never the solutions to any problem we face in life because we do not even
know where we are going after death,we do not know what will happen thereafter,some people
need to understand that when there is life there is hope because nothing in this world cannot have a
solution,no matter the problem you are facing you can still solve the problems if you are patient
enough to go through those challenges and overcome them...

Suicide
I personally think suicide is a proof of a person's cowardliness
I don't think suicide is killing your own life, I think suicide is being a coward running to your problem
Letting your problems take your life wasn't that good. You only show that you can't endure the problem you are facing at the moment.
Is Suicide right or wrong?
Definitely suicide is wrong, how can you even think that killing yourself is right?
You were a murderer if you kill. Killing yourself for me is also an act of murder
Do we have the right to kill ourselves?
No, you will be entitled in my eyes as a murdered. A murderer who kill himself
