SUICIDE SOLUTION

I'm about to take up a position which is going to be deamed by some, if not all, as a
terrible stand to take. As a 
matter of fact, if anyone were to agree with me on ths subject, I'd be surprsed. For you
see, rather than arguing 
from the postion of suicide being an unjustified and inane way to die, I shall argue the
other point. That being suicide 
does have its merits. Before you people start screaming, hear my case out. Most people
argue that nothing justifies 
the taking of someone's life. Yet what makes life so valuable? Why do people cling to it
so? All we consist of is a 
bunch of carbon atoms, bound together to form an exoskeleton, organs, and tissue. In
this light, there really is not 
much to life. Out of the 5 billion who inhabit the planet, very few of them shall emerge
to
be true world leaders. The 
rest will just lead a mediocre life of work and little play. The taking of ones life can
be
argued from a populistic view 
as well. It makes little sense to preserve life in an over populated world. True, one
less
person here on there will not 
make a large dent. Yet if everyone who attempts or had attempted suicide were not
stopped, the impact would be 
noticed. Another popular argument for stoppers, people who want to prevent suicide, is
that nothing can be bad 
enough. Yet how do they know this? They do not have to put up with the same stuff the
suicide victim does 
everyday. How could they possibly know what the potential suicide victim feels. Just as
a
severely burned victim 
may wish to be allowed to die in peace, the suicide victim wishes the same. To die in
peace with no argument from 
others. The argument of look at the people you will hurt also does not hold. Imidiate
family members will be the 
only ones to suffer any great pain. Friends will go on with thier lives and in time
forget
about the death. Imidiate 
family too will forget the loss in time. Although it will take most considerably longer
for
them than it will for friends. 
Finaly, the argument of suicide being selfish is hard to grasp. Selfish in whose eyes?
Certainly not the eyes of the 
victim. To them, they consider it selfish of others to try and preserve their life.
Again, the
argument of the stoppers 
don't know what the victim has to go through. They are not the ones enduring the pain.
Religious people also crop 
up into the debate. Catholics claim that for someone to committ suicide sneds their soul
straight to Hell. In many 
religions, suicide is considered taboo. However why is this so? Why should it be looked
upon as disgracefull, when 
some religions claim death the be the reward for people after their time on earth is
done.
Suicide is an issue which 
should be examined at by all angles. Not just from the angle that it is wrong. End of
debate. Rather it should be 
looked at from the point of view that yes for some people, they should be allowed to
die in peace.
