I think they're right, we're technically criminal

[Insomniac]

we deserve the death sentence

 

[counting-out-time]

Agreed. If we carnt get N then if the death penalty was still in use then I'd commit a massive crime just so I could be hung by someone or given a Lethal injection.

 

[Daria98765]

Yup,all countries should implement the peaceful death penalty for trying to die

 

[willitpass]

honestly what do are they thinking by threatening legal action against suicidal people? especially since many, myself included, are extremely careful to avoid giving any advice or comments that could be seen as aiding in suicide, what do they think we will do when we get charged for saying "i'm sorry you're in pain, i hope you find peace" to a stranger expressing suffering? do they think about the fact that we are already on the verge of death and that may well be what pushes us over? i dont think i've said or done anything that could be considered criminal under that act but if they come for me one day then that will be the day i don't wait another second to execute my plan

 

[jodes2]

Fuck. I don't fancy a botched execution though. So many in the US are botched!! So would I go for N which often gets botched, or maybe firing squad? If they aim for the head I'd rather go for that. They'd have to be fucking useless shots to fuck that up

genius solution. they'd fix their problems and ours. logic is so easy

honestly what do are they thinking by threatening legal action against suicidal people

the way you phrased this hits really hard. now, there's no question that they fundamentally don't care about the mentally ill.

I don't fancy a botched execution though

and the fact you have to wait 20years on the death row sucks a little as well

Yeah friklin awful, especially in the US prisons. If only Norway etc had the death penalty, their prisons are like hotels

I love everything about Norway. I bet they'll legalised assisted suicide too like Belgium and Switzerland.

Yeah, unlike the friklin UK. Consensus on a poll I made is they won't legalise VAD for like 50 years or more

The way I see it is the uk death sentence is to make you suffer every single day and every single second in hell until you die of old age.

Tbh I've been watching documentaries of prisoners in prison in Russia and they all act like robots. No heating. Shit food and monitored 24/7 but I mean that is just awful and once behind bars (which we already are) there is no way out

As a former small-time journalist (of actual integrity) I can't let this slide:

Fact Check: CNN Did NOT Publish Story On 'Man Sentenced To Death After Failed Suicide Attempt' | Lead Stories

Did CNN publish a story about a man who attempted suicide, only to be sentenced to death in 2018? No,...

Watching that just makes me want to CBT quicker. Life is a prison either way and the sooner I'm dead then the sooner I don't have to suffer anymore. Roll on hotel room with rope yay!

I've never seen any contemporary or historical evidence of suicide attempts being punishable by death. Fines, imprisonment, excommunication, yes - no law would ever be punishable by means in direct opposition to the cultural/moral position that is one of, if not the sole, reason for that law in the first place. I.e. if suicide is criminal due to so-called sanctity of life (from a theological perspective), it makes zero sense socioculturally for the punishment for that crime to be put to death. We are profoundly stupid, but not that profoundly stupid.

History of suicide - Wikipedia

When suicide was illegal

Up until 50 years ago suicide was a crime in England and Wales. But why were people prosecuted for attempted "self-murder" and how did things change?

The long history of criminalising suicide

It was reported in June that more than 100 male detainees had made suicide attempts on Manus Island in recent months, with the incidence spiking…

Not everything is recorded into writings.

I can see my Muslim ancestors do that.

 

[Gray Wounds]

yeap. a lethal injection is a dream come true for me

Sentenced to death in a gas chamber filled with Nitrogen.

True, but among ancient things that were written down, rules of law tend to rank pretty significantly. I admit to knowing almost nothing of ancient Islamic law, but a cursory attempt to find info pertaining to this in Sharia or older codes yields nothing.

That doesn't mean that some people in a given society may never have collectively executed someone who was accused of attempting suicide. But there is a difference between vigilantism and law.
