You just said, it.

So people should cop out of life when they fill the need to because there in "pain"? My point is I still think it is wrong regardless of the reason for the person to preform such an drastic measure. We shouldn't be in the business of ending lives prematurity, instead we should encourage and help those in pain.

My point still stands, suicide is an way for people to escape whatever ills them, regardless of the source of pain in effect the base reason for suicide is till there regardless of whatever ills you (depression, etc). It can be taken also that because the person is ill they cannot think clearly and act in desperation on the pain that they fill. The only case I see is that the person has an terminal illness, which my point is that they should be encourage to live out the rest of there lives in a fruitful manner then opting out of it. In effect thinking because there have an terminal illness, they in an way are making it another excuse to opt out.
