Discussion Are Suicide capsules morally acceptable ?

[NotMyName]

I am interested in this topic for quite some time now. What are your opinions ?

I personally think it is a great Idea to carry around suicide capsules, just in case it is necessary to take ones live quickly, if faced with a very bad situation and there is just no better way out. You never now what you could get yourself into and what consequences you might face or dont want to face.
Is there a way to get these capsules ?
I really dont want to take my own life, but I would like to have the safety that I can do it immediatly if needed.
Again what do you think ?

i think as long as the individual is considered mature enough to take the decision and does it in private i really find no problem

in my opinion, it can vary. if you want to do it for selfish reasons than it would be immoral in my opinion, however I have heard of people in the army specifically those on thr front lines who get captured have taken similar paths, specifically for torture, if you are doing so to defend your country or family, I see no moral wrongdoing, if you are doing so to satisfy your own mind and escape pain and suffering I would argue there are other ways to recover. I really hope you aren't doing this just as a last resort for suicide, I encourage you to seek any sort of help if you can. friends, family, whatever. if you need someone to talk to you can message me aswell. I barely use the internet but whenever I log in here I will try to help as many as I can, hopefully if needed someone will message me to speak. if that person is you I will try to respond as quickly as I can. good luck to you.

I appreciate your kindness.
However, as i said, dont worry, i wont kill myself unless absolutely necessary. And by that I dont mean feelings, sure I have major problems, but I would never kill myself because of them. I really mean dangerous situations, in which death is just the best way out.

I cannot really give you an awnser to this honestly as I don't personally know any situation I could find myself in that would tempt me, the only thing I really could see tempting me personally is if someone threatened my family who I love. If that happened I would give my life up without any second thought however I would argue that's a forced situation and not really suicide even if you are the one doing the killing. I really hope your situation gets better to where you don't need to consider these options though.

I can deal with all types of physical pain, never had a broken bone or been stabbed or shot but even though i know the risks, I would gladly take any of those options to save my family, even dying for my country would not really appeal to me, although i can understand the morality behind it and trying to save other lives in war.

Glad to hear, that you have not faced such situations. Its just, you know, better safe then sorry in my opinion. It might sound strange to many, because they dont understand these kind of situations, but trust me if you know, you know... Its just for safety, so that one can live His life kind of normal, not worrying all the time, not have paranoia all the time, because one knows one can quickly leave this planet, If there accurs a very very very bad situation, out of nowhere.

I guess my philosophy comes from knowing that other people definitely have had it worse off than me, and if they still find the resolve to keep going, I don't see why I can't aswell. maybe i'm just born competitive and want to be just as good as everyone else in the way I view things regardless of how bad my circumstances get, I genuinely think that even if I was the most tortured person of the planet that I would find the strength to keep moving for the sake of those who could possibly look up to my story or how I live. But I do see how some people can lose hope, as i have lost it at one point too, I found it again much later and really that's what keeps me going.

If I had such a capsule I'd be taking it as soon as my domestic situation permits. Being pro choice on a Suicide Discussion thread I don't quite see any question of morality entering into it. Once the decision is made to ctb in certain circumstances having the means with you to do it is just a matter of convenience or practicality.

You really seem like a good person.
Sadly I cant say that about myself or my god damn family. I dont even know If i know just one Person personally that is just good. I once knew one, however he was taken from me by my so called family.

I try to come off as a good person, I have done bad thing's that I regret, like most people. However I do believe in the philosophy that you choose how to react to things, however I do believe there are exceptions such as mentally ill people and people with genetic deformities. I am not a saint as i probably portray myself as online though, I have my flaws and believe one day I will be punished for them, however in the meantime until I meet my "judgement" i believe I have a duty to try to make up for the bad I have done to atleast try to enter heaven if its real, but I do find myself always questioning if I deserve to enter heaven, or if I am doomed because of my mistakes.

I do believe there are exceptions that even God makes if he is real though, I do not believe any text written by man was sent from God, although I do believe something must exist that created this universe.

But I must be clear, I don't think i'm a good person, although I try to be, my past kinda haunts me forever.

Having the option of an instant and peaceful way to permanently escape from this existence is all that would be ideal to me. I don't get how leaving this existence could ever be wrong or a bad thing as one cannot suffer from not existing, as after all existence itself is the cause of all harm and torment.

I'm never able to understand how some people value this torturous process of slowly decaying from age so much to the point that they see suicide as a terrible thing, the thought of permanently ceasing to exist comforts me.

It terrifies me how there is no limit as to how much agony one can feel in this existence that was just an horrific, unnecessary mistake in the first place. I see it as the most important right having the option to instantly be free from all suffering, suicide is something relieving as it's suffering prevention.
