Hi,
I have been lurking around here for quite some time. From what I 've read so far it seems that the vast majority here tries to keep people from harming themselves which I very much understand.
But what if somebody, who has lived a relatively normal life without having had mental problems, comes to the conclusion that it would be best if they ended their life? What do you think, should they be allowed to have their life terminated?
Let me repeat that in this hypothetical example the desire to cease ones existence doesn't come from a spontaneous decision due to some tragic event, but is the result of a long, rational thinking process.
Neither am I going to end my life in the foreseeable future, nor do I encourage anyone to do so. I'm just interested in your take on people who are not in crisis, but still feel that life just isn't worth living.
