RE: Should Human Beings Have The Right To End Their Lives?

in #life7 years ago

The idea that government can grant or deny "rights" is a dangerous delusion. Government can only try and uphold rights, or try and deny them, but they can not grant them.

I have the right to manage my body in whatever way I choose, and it wasn't government who granted me that control. It is simply the nature of being.

Suicide IS a problem however, and the number of suicides among otherwise healthy individuals is on the rise. We should all be aware of the warning signs of depression, and be alert to those around us who may be in crisis.

If you, or anyone you know requires assistance, there are resources available to get help:
