Is ctbing ok if the person has his/her own family and would be leaving them helpless/behind?

If you are responsible for a family you definitely should not CTB. If leaving them behind would leave them helpless then that's a disgusting thing to do in my opinion. My death will hurt people but it will not leave them in a position where they cannot take care of themselves. If you have kids or a spouse who needs you or if anyone depends on you for survival then CTBing should not even be an option. I'm pro choice and people can die if they want I guess but I think thats just a vile thing to do.

Depends on the role the person is for the family. If its a child then they are free to go ctb without regret as they didn't choose to have this life and so it should be fair for them to quit life early if they want to.

If it is a parent who choose to have children whether thats through procreation or adoption then I would say its immoral to leave their children as they deserve someone to be able to take care of them through this life of suffering that they started in the first place or choose to take care of them willingly.

If it is in someone in the family that were given the responsibility of looking after and taking care of someone without much choice then they can ctb as they were forced into that situation and so are allowed to get out of it. This includes children who look after their old parents.

I would say its also okay for someone to ctb and leave their spouse if they didn't have children as anyone should be able to leave each other if they want to.

I feel like it's always okay to CTB unless you have children. You chose to create to new life, you are now resposnsible of bringing up that life until they are capable on managing on their own. CTB-ing in that time and traumatizing the child is revolting.

Same as previous speakers. Sole reason i'm still here is because there's no one that would take over my duties towards people under my protection. As much as i want this life to be over, my sense of duty keeps me here. And yes, that includes life i created so i hope to be strong enough to stay at least until my creation reaches independence and stability.
