Hello, new here
I'm a 23 year old female university student, studying the sciences.
I hope I don't offend too many people with this post, but I feel this controversial topic deserves some thought. I don't think that suicide is always a bad thing. Why is it more acceptable for someone with a terminal physical illness to choose suicide than for someone suffering chronic mental anguish? What about respecting people's autonomy? Why does there even need to be suffering to justify suicide?? A competent adult should be able to choose to kill themselves without undue interference if they have carefully considered their decision. If I were severely burned, in severe pain, denied suicide, recovered and then went on to live a meaningful life, I myself would still have chosen death during the suffering...despite knowing that I would recover and be happy. If anyone shares my views, feel free to contact me:

I need encouragement and advice for suicide/tips/methods. I'm do not have any mental disorder, am 100% competent and rational.Thanks for reading :)
