There aren't many questions that are as easy to answer as this one. Anyone who is against euthanasia is either a complete religious nut or hasn't bothered to think about it for 5 seconds.

I can't give parky76's post the response it deserves without violating a few forum rules, so I'll just say that it's very naive to think that "life is not that bad" and that "u can get help".
 
You cannot possibly know what life is like for another person. If you think you can or do know what life is like for another person, where does that confidence come from? I want to see evidence that demonstrates life is not that bad for every single person that attempts suicide.

As for attempted suicide being a criminal offence, for which the victim (deliberate choice of word) will then face punishment - what absolute unthinking rot.

I've never heard of anyone going to jail for attempting suicide. I think there is a law against it so that a person who attempts suicide can be committed to a psychiatric facility against his or her will.
