Well, this was the basic information related to the subject derived from a recent article on ‘Suicide’. I’d like to add my comments.
When should one die? To say never is either academic or hypothetical. Well, the other answer to this question is when one desires to discontinue living. This too is wrong.
Human is the only animal having the intelligence of expression and emotions. Life is the rare gift we have received, so we need to think and consider other options before deciding to terminate.
By chance, if we finalize to stop living, what should we do? The answer may not be simple. First thing I would do is to open up myself fully to someone I consider reliable. Someone needs not be single – may be more than one. Not for changing the decision or getting any sympathy, but for my own satisfaction, I will do this.
Before actually committing the said act, I will write about my useful organs' donation and do it (esp. one kidney, part of the liver, bone-marrow and such other things like blood) is sure to die medical state. I will convey my desire to donate the whole dead body to medical college.
I will then check my bank balance & think of my nearest relatives' role in allowing me to die.
All this together, I don't want to die. I am sure world is worth living even when there is one person to be with me.
