Discussion what makes you think you have the right to end your life?

[Exiled spirit]

I personally would say my life belongs to me. I'm not the private property of my parents, country, or an imaginary wizard in the sky. I own my life. Therefore, I have the right to end it.

 

[Kodokushi]

Absolutely agree with you. We're birthed here without our consent or knowledge and have to live just because. There is no meaning nor reason, we really are just h e r e

 

[BringMeToLife]

You're right. I feel the same way.

 

[noonipie]

I don't believe that I necessarily have the right. But, a lot of the time, it's all I can think about. The only option that really makes sense or is viable. So, for me, that state of mind will override my belief system at times.

 

[Ambivalent1]

Modern politics says so. I don't check any special boxes and I don't support anything not relevant to me. The quintessential individual is hated by all because he's only on his own side.

 

[ringo99]

Simply because I have the ability to do so when continuing it is unbearably painful

 

[Pidgeons_Sparrows]

my life belongs to me, if I have a right to live that also automatically means that I have a right to die

 

[Challu]

God does. So, I may face some form of punishment, but it won't last forever.

 

[PoisonousPotato]

i consider that, by default, i have the right to choose. if someone wants to deprive me of this right, it's up to them to justify why, and i won't let people take that right away so easily.

 

[Hotsackage]

i mean its my life i do what i want. but i have a conscience so, im stuck

 

[HerculePoirot]

I'd put it otherwise. Nobody has the right to take my life, except one person: me.

 

[hellispink]

I didn't grt asked to come here. So i am just doing the same escaping from where it hurts to be. We all have right to do what we best think with our own bodies only.

 

[tsykoais]

because it's my life, and after years of suffering and not having control of anything in it. at least i can control the end of my life.

in other words, i can didn't choose how i came here however at least i can choose how i leave

 

[ThisIsLife]

My only child died a few months ago. It broke my heart in a million pieces; life doesn't make sense anymore and even though i believe he's now in a much better place, i don't think it would be fair if i was forced to stay. My only hope is to never be separated from him again.

 

[mrwizard11]

I've passed all the age gates that the government has imposed on me and I am old enough to do anything I want to. I didn't have a choice on being brought into this world, but I do have a choice on how I choose to live, and that extends to dying. My life is my own. If I am to be in charge of my life, that includes how to end it.

 

[SVEN]

Because it's mine. Life is the meanest of gifts, and costs nothing to return. I just wish it was unopened.

 

[Anonymus]

If those who oppose me do not want to listen to me, it doesn't matter if I have the right or not, I will do what is most convenient for me.

Si els que s'oposen no volen escoltar-me que més dóna si tinc dret o no, faré el que em convingui més.

 

[Georg]

I did not choose to live and I have no responsibility for other ppl or pets

 

[leavingsoon99]

I personally would say my life belongs to me. I'm not the private property of my parents, country, or an imaginary wizard in the sky. I own my life. Therefore, I have the right to end it.

THIS!!! ALL of it!!!

 

[HadItAll]

I didn't ask to be brought into this world, I haven't brought anyone into this world against their will.
If my body has the right to start self distructing by getting chronically ill and torturing me, I have the right to terminate it.

 

[Source Energy]

Only reading this question got my blood pressure high!
What makes you think I DON't have the right to end it? I live it, I feel it - nobody else!
This line of thinking usually go with religion but not everybody is religious. I for one don't believe in a deity so my life belongs to me.

 

[locked*n*loaded]

Well, if you commit a heinous murder in a capital punishment state here in the US, the freaking "state" decides that they have a right to end your life. The state had absolutely nothing to do with your creation, yet they still claim that right. If they can claim that right, regardless of the circumstances surrounding it, who, other than you, would have that right, when there are no "heinous" circumstances involved? Part of the reason the state can hold you accountable is because you are judged to be the boss of yourself. If that is true, then it is always true, even when the state isn't making that determination. So, who better than the boss to decide what is right for you?

 

[FuneralCry]

Because I only exist as a result of the decisions of others to cruelly and selfishly procreate, like why would anybody be obligated to stay here, we shouldn't have to pay the price for the selfish actions of others if we don't wish to, it's a punishment to be burdened with existence in this hellish world where there is unlimited potential to suffer. Humans deserve the option to be able to end this futile process that only leads to us ceasing to exist anyway, I see no value in delaying the inevitable.

 

[unnormal9]

Because I am within this body not controlled physically by anyone else. I have the right to end my body's suffering from chronic everyday pain; furthermore caused by the hands and volition of others.

 

[Forever Sleep]

Why wouldn't I have the right to take my life? Because that can only be granted by God? What if I don't believe in God? Because I'm not in my right mind? Then- prove it.

Like everyone else has said- I firmly believe our lives and right to autonomy should belong to us- and no one else.

 

[ever so lonely]

Well for starters because I am the person living it !!!!,

 

[wiltingorchid]

I wasn't asked to be born in first place. I was forced to live a horrible life, and therefore, i think i have the right to end it.

 

[RichardFirst]

Ultimately, our lives are ours to dispose of as we see fit. I would only say that someone has no right to CTB if they have responsibilities such as caring for a child or the like. Beyond that, when we want to go, it should be a private matter and nothing else.
