People in the U.S. have the wrong idea about suicide, people in Sweden have it right
Suicide is illegal in the United States. One will be arrested and committed, committed to a psychiatric hospital if one attempts suicide in the United States. They need to get some help, is the U.S. attitude. However, this does not take into account human suffering. What of the paralysis victim or the accidentally blinded? These people should not have to go through a subpar life that is an indurance test. Life should be comfortable enough that you are not sick and in extreme pain everyday. The Swedish understand this pain threshold and they legalized suicide and created euthenasia clinics for assisted suicide.
So you should indure a painful life for your family? What a joke.

Hmm, interesting point, but suicide is a selfish decision, and impacts other people as well.
Really, suicide is a ****ed up grey area. It would be better if people did not commit suicide, since it causes a lot of pain and sorrow to family and close friends... but in the same breath: euthanizing does have its merits.
Also why is this in the ask male? o_0 Would males look at this question differently?
His family are the selfish ones! They are making him live for them while he suffers every day. It is not them doing the suffering.
What if your family is watching you suffer, screaming in pain every day? They'd rather see you float into peace which is what euthenasia doctors say they can help you do. I actually watched a family watch their son suffer for years and when he expressed his wish to die painlessley and cleany after alll those years of watching him in pain they finally just agreed with him. If they love their son they would allow it. If they want to hang on to him for their own selfish reasons thats just mean because they can't let the memory of who he used to be go. His name was Michael.
