My favourite part is the reasoning that it's selfish to try and end your own life, because what about your friends and family? But nobody ever considers that it's way more selfish to try and force someone to live a life they hate so much they'd rather be dead. If someone has hit the point they don't want to be alive any more, I say we let them have it. It's their decision and obviously they aren't happy, who are we to tell them what they should do with their own life?

Uh, I didn’t say anything about friends and family. I didn’t say it was wrong to take your own life. I just think it’s wrong to harm others in the process.

Whether you agree or not, it would be super awesome if you didn’t twist the meaning of my comment.
