Today I read a fictional story absolutely against pro-choice

[noname223]

I did not know much about the story. The moral of the story was the following: Assisting suicide is a crime and murdorous. People who think it is good to help people dying are weak and have no principles. The person who assisted suicide commited suicide at the end allegedly because he was so weak and had no principles. And he could not live anymore with the feeling to be now a murderer.
People who commit suicide are selfish. If there was the possibility to die easily A LOT of people would want to die. (Probably the only true assumption.)
There were other reasons why this day was bad. This story triggered me a bit.
It was a japanese story. I think in Asia many people try to guilt-trip suicidal people. A guy from South Korea in this forum once described the situation in his country concerning suicide. It sounded pretty horrible.

It just goes to show how failing are the efforts to undermine suicide and ascribe stigma to it as some strategy thats supposed to lower suicide rates. East Asian cultures never adopted the suicide puts you to eternal hell religious idea hence there are less barriers and more incentive to enact suicide. It must be a predicament for asian cultures to convince its population that suicide is a very bad idea when in the absence of threat of hell there is really not much choices left to deter people from suicide because lets face it. Truth life really sucks and seem pointless and even the pleasures you get from it are undermined and short-lived. Good luck to prolifers working more hard than ever trying to brainwash people that suicide is a bad thing when people are moving further and further from religions that condemn suicide

Hard to take stories like that seriously when Korea and Japan are rife with competition and an intense pressure to conform socially/professionally.

There's a form of bullying Japanese schoolchildren engage in, where they leave mourning flowers on a classmate's desk to send the message that they think their peer should ctb.

Yet, stories like the one you mentioned still get published. The true causes of suicide are out of sight, out of mind, as usual.

What's fucking pathetic is that when these people get severely depressed, have an incurable disease, get old as fuck where no one wants to wipe their ass, etc. I bet they'll change their minds on assisted suicide.

Whenever I read anything about East Asian countries and suicide I'm just astounded that they haven't made their entire populations suicidal. Both countries cultures reeks of indescribable toxicity. This is why I can't bother learning anything about Japan anymore even though I used to be interested into the country.

I thought Japan has a really high suicide rate... so must be just to guilt people into living.
