View Full Version : Death Penalty for Attempted Suicide barwars 08-31-2004, 09:54 PM Is it right?? Michael [hXc] 08-31-2004, 09:58 PM Personally I think it is very stupid. When people commit suicide their intention is dying. So giving them the death penalty is giving them what they wanted, and that is a stupid punishment. A better punishment for that is making them stay alive. *Pleasant Tomorrow* 08-31-2004, 09:59 PM Um...there's such a thing? What the **** is wrong with the world. -_- Michael [hXc] 08-31-2004, 10:04 PM I don't think anyone will vote yes for this:o dawsongirl 08-31-2004, 10:08 PM That's dumb. Just a dumb waste of time. Sara Micelli 08-31-2004, 10:10 PM Is there really such a thing? Hollow 08-31-2004, 10:11 PM is there such thing? BowWowsBaby 08-31-2004, 10:13 PM That's rediculous...They should try to help the person Janet McFarland 08-31-2004, 10:38 PM Originally posted by BowWowsBaby That's rediculous...They should try to help the person and get them help! I agree! ¤I Love Clay Aiken¤ 08-31-2004, 11:26 PM Well, I know attempting suicide is illegal, but wtf O_O. Dude, if someone is suicidal you send them to a mental hospital or a therapist and try to get down to the problem.

Dude, if someone is suicidal you send them to a mental hospital or a therapist and try to get down to the problem. It's illegal? Why am I just now hearing about this?:confused: Jrnygrl 09-01-2004, 12:26 AM Originally posted by popcornperson2002 It's illegal? Why am I just now hearing about this?:confused: Yeah its illegal, I think they actually charge you with a crime. But to give some the death penalty for trying to kill them self is really ridculous. The person attempting suicide obviously needs help not more problems to add to it. :crazy: :crazy: :confused: Kay Scarpetta 09-01-2004, 12:38 AM That's insanely stupid. I mean, if the person wants to die, let them die. I know I sound cold, but come on.. think about it. Jrnygrl 09-01-2004, 12:40 AM Originally posted by Kaffeine Kay That's insanely stupid. I mean, if the person wants to die, let them die. I know I sound cold, but come on.. think about it. I agree with you, I have always felt that if this person wants to die it is there choice, and not society's to stop them and then charge them with a crime against themselves. Mr. Television 09-01-2004, 12:41 AM I think this is a joke poll. Nobody's going to put you to death for attempting to kill yourself. Hollow 09-01-2004, 12:59 AM Originally posted by ¤I Love Clay Aiken¤ Well, I know attempting suicide is illegal, but wtf O_O. Yeah, i've heard that it's illegal in "some countries" because i read about suicide a lot in encyclopedias and stuff but it applies to the US? It's none of the government's damn business anyway, only their family and friends. yeah it'll cost them for a funeral and all but who gives a damn. Is it "self-murder"? And if people really do get the death penalty for trying to kill themself then it will give suicidal people more hope of dying. They want to die, so the government kills them as a punishment. smooth. i doubt that's true, but if it is, that's damn ****ed up. Death really is the only way of hell for some people. I don't mean that in a "you just don't understand what it's like!!!!!!" way, but even if the government doesn't agree they should just stay of their damn business. Dutabi84 09-01-2004, 01:05 AM Boy would that be redundant. ¤I Love Clay Aiken¤ 09-01-2004, 01:08 AM Originally posted by safety pin Yeah, i've heard that it's illegal in "some countries" because i read about suicide a lot in encyclopedias and stuff but it applies to the US?

Its considered a murder. Even though it is yourself, its still considered a crime. I understand how it is illegal and I do think legal matters should be placed if someone attempts suicide. Im not saying they should get a murder trial- which I dont think happens anyways.. that would make no sense, obviously they cant claim innocense O_O, but I think they should try and get them some help. Most people who attempt suicide dont even want to die, they want to be stopped. And I said most people, so dont get defensive as if Im speaking for all people who are suicidal. robyrob 09-01-2004, 07:34 AM nah - i dont think they should get the death penalty, but i do think they should that it should be considered a very serious crime, and so they should get a life sentence. Mossopp 09-01-2004, 01:41 PM I know that sucide is illegal in some places - the U.S. is one of them, I believe - but I don't think a botched suicide attempt is punishable by death. As someone already said, it would defeat the purpose somewhat if you killed someone as punishment for trying to kill themself in the first instance! Personally, I don't think suicide or attempting it should be a crime. If it is then that effectively means that we don't even have control over our own lives. And if we don't have that, then what do we have, really? theshark8777 09-01-2004, 07:58 PM As stated before you can't get the death penality for attemped suicide. But it is a crime in the US. That's why it's called attempting or committing suicide. Michael [hXc] 09-01-2004, 08:18 PM Personally I don't think it should be illegal. If someone wants to die because they are so miserable beyond control or are pushed way past the limit, then they shouldn't be forced to live miserably. But I would never consider committing suicide myself though.

Some people don't know the difference between a "murder" and being suicidal ohno: TheGreatPretender 09-01-2004, 08:25 PM Originally posted by Mossopp I know that sucide is illegal in some places - the U.S. is one of them, I believe - but I don't think a botched suicide attempt is punishable by death.
