I've been wracking my brain to have some insightful input into this thread, because I've got experience with suicide. I've been trying compose my ideas as to how I feel on the issue. Every thought I have has a counter, and the debate in my head gets extremely messy, especially when I try to apply my belief that terminally ill people should be allowed to kill themselves to other situations(Because who is to say what pain is and isn't justifiable). It's like I don't even feel right stating an opinion on when a person is ethically allowed to kill themselves, because the whole issue is just too fucking messy and comes with too much emotional baggage.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
