Do you feel bad for commiting suicide having a healthy body

[NothingElseMatters]

I mean, no disease, both arms, both legs, vision, etc. Would you feel bad for throwing all out? This usually comes to mind.

I might have the healthiest body but still a depressed mind so, I don't feel bad at all.

Your body is an expendable possession like any other. I wouldn't feel bad throwing out a nice and perectly working car if I knew I'd never need to drive it anymore.

 

[Sea Turtle]

Healthy body, ill mind. No one else has rights over my body, so I don't feel bad

 

[AprilsBlessings]

I feel you, I feel guilty sometimes, specially when i see people struggling with diseases or disabilities
even though my mind is totally fucked up that has nothing to do with my body or my senses

i think it's normal to feel that way, sending you hugs <3

I'd be more than happy to give my body to someone after death (or now, close the deal) but I don't feel guilty at all, it's my body! I just feel sorry for the 7bn souls I'll be leaving here, and all the rest to come

I would sign up for that, giving my body to someone who would want it. I'm pretty fit, work-out 6 days a week, no diseases.

In a sense i get what OP is saying and i sometimes feel guilty that i am blessed with a lot of things but still seem ungrateful and want to CTB. This life is so very interestingly painful.

Yes. This is my main issue. My body is not even that healthy neccessarily but for me just the idea of destroying a viable human body makes me very squeamish. Same with the death penalty doesn't sit right with me. Same with abortion makes me squeamish. Politically and morally I am pro-choice but I just think it's a very heavy decision and its traumatic for everyone involved. When I saw coronavirus deaths mounting at the beginning of the pandemic and bodies being stored in freezers that hit me hard as well. Death in general is a very difficult thing to stomach especially when its untimely. To be frank, I feel the same way about animals. I eat animals don't get me wrong but I get very uncomfortable with the thought of them being killed. In an ideal world and back when I felt like I had something to live for I had a goal of one day living on a farm where I could raise animals and make sure they are slaughtered in the most humane way possible and as comfortable as they can be in their final moments and if I found that even then I was uncomfortable with it I would stop eating animals completely. All this is to say that life is a precious gift. Make no mistake about it. I'm not trying to discourage anyone and I myself am pretty set on ctb but the fact remains that life is an incredibly precious gift and the ending of life should not be taken lightly at all. IMHO

This would be a cool sci-fi story. A world where people can wear and trade bodies like clothes. Gucci bodies, penny store bodies, second-hand bodies, homemade bodies, black market bodies...

 

[Pen>Sword]

No, not really. I just wish that I'm dying right now, and have someone else have my organs (eg. Eyes, ears, kidney, etc.) to enjoy. If only there's a Futurama sanctioned-suicide machine with an option to donate my organs, I'll sign up for that.

 

[Symbiote]

My brain isn't healthy so therefore my body isn't.

 

[deleted]

no, i'm so short, thin and weak that it gets pathetic, my mind is completely fucked up

 

[*Hope*]

Hell no. I see my short body as a handicap. Even if it functions, it's repulsive and therefore I cant feel bad for doing cbt.

 

[Thisisme373]

No. My body might be reasonably healthy but my mind has been suffering severely for over 10 years. I honestly think most people would of topped themselves by now in my position. I've had one hell of a shit life.

 

[Daveyjones]

No, as the others state screw my body all I care about is my mind. You did bring up question in my head regarding SN though. If I'm a organ donor can they even use anything since Im putting poison into everything?

It's the premise of altered carbon although it does not take it very well.

I don't feel bad. Why should I care if I'm gonna die.
