[Avicii]

just curious??

We are pro choice we don't encourage or discourage. We help if asked or say we wish you peace if someone wants to end their life. Lately though pro life people have been on here trying to discourage which is something we like to avoid having on here.

@Broken is spot on. It's generally a safe place for people who have made their final decision. Some members may disagree but I think it's important not to push anybody, and instead be entirely neutral and simply supportive of peoples decisions.

What @weedoge said.

I just feel understood and safe here. I already made my mind but even if by some miracle i changed my goal, i would still be pro-choice, come to this forum and keep my Nembutal close, nothing depresses me like feeling i have no choice and being trapped in life.

Sometimes I worry that I might be convincing others to do it, but I don't think so. If you're gonna do it you're gonna do it. Hell, none of us know for sure.

Have to like our odds though compared to life lovers out there. I just don't understand people with a zest for life. They like this? I just will never get it and can't even begin to try. I don't like it and will be glad when it's almost over one way or another.

Every person's different. Some people like life, some people don't. It's just the way it is

 

[Brokenanddeadinside]

I don't understand either and Your gonna die one day anyway and you'll never remember this life so really whenever you die it all ends up being the same. Why continue if life isn't worth living no one should be forced to live when you weren't asked to be born.

I believe in encouraging others to commit suicide if they need help to commit suicide, or want to talk. But it's mostly out of the believe in pro-choice. But I will never push too hard to convince someone to commit suicide if they don't want to do it. There was only one person I know of that I encouraged them to do it even though they were adverse to the idea. But they are very old and I didn't want to see them suffering until there very last breath in a hospice.

I feel like my decision has become more clear to myself since I've been on this site; but from what I've soon most people respect your decision as long as you don't preach pro-life.

Let's say you did encourages someone unintentionnaly, this worry still stems for a tacitly pro-life view, because one might also say

1 : what if i influenced someone to stay alive, and because of that he went through more suffering, maybe afterwards he lost the willpower to die ... while still wishing he did it when he could.

2 : One may regret not having died or being alive, it's impossible to regret being dead. Worse case scenario it's the only decision one can never regret, besides, we are all dying anyway, it's not like those who go on living will beat sicknesses and death, it's just a matter of time.

3 : things can always get worse as long as one is alive, same couldn't be said for someone who's dead.

I'm not saying that we should encourage people to kill themselves, i think we have to be just pro-choice, i'm just saying this anxiety/worrying about influencing someone unintentionnaly to kill himself is unfounded as it doesn't lessens suffering more than uninrentionnaly influencing someone to stay alive. It stems from the view that life is very percious and interresting so that one has to be extremely sure before contemplating death, i disagree about this assumption.

 

[TheSternal]

I think this site and the members endorses a freedom to talk about suicide and the topic of death without it seeming like a negative thing. Honestly this site helps me so much because it's so rare to find a place to discuss wanting to die and to have people understand you. I think the members here don't push people to go through with their suicide but rather they help discuss options and life in a pro choice manner without people responding with the same typical pro life responses. I think sites like these actually really help people who are struggling.

This is the level of thinking I wish I had the privilege of conversing with in the real world.

Instead, I get stuck with life loving dolts who keep my mind in idiotic conflict. It's their faces I see looking at me in disappointment when I think of how I need to kill myself. I'd do it if it wasn't for that. Still care about what they think. This is what I have to overcome. One day, life will be physically painful enough that I'll be able to justify it by them knowing I'm out of my suffering.

 

[Gregor samsa]

I think its paramount to minimize the pro life viewpoint on this site .I find most views here pro choice and I'm comfortable here without the aggravating mary poppinesque views

Neither - my decision was set in stone before I came onto this page.
