Let me give you a hint:

 

Girls try to kill themselves several times more often than boys do. However' date=' several times more boys die from suicides than girls do.

 

The reason is obvious: [i']girls suck at killing themselves.[/i]

 

So, what happens if someone tries to kill himself or herself and fails?

 

They try to help you somehow. :)

 

If you threaten to kill yourself they take you into custody and try to help you.

 

Obviously the suicide law isn't against anyone. But it's trying to protect you and others.

 

(not directed towards crab helmet)

 

Ah, but how can they try to help you? Nobody will ever be found guilty of attempted suicide.

 

Why not?

 

Because it's not literally illegal.

 

It's a moral and beneficial push. If everyone who thought "Wow I'm sad" went around killing themselves, the world would be chaotic.

 

If suicide is illegal, attempted suicide is also illegal. It is possible to be put on trial for attempted suicide; however, nobody on earth will ever be convicted of it, because there's an unbreakable defense that can always be used.

 

Also, I'm not going to bother speaking with the peanut gallery of people who think turning everything into a government conspiracy discussion is cool.

what would you say for the unbreakable defense if you were put on that trial' date=' Crab? Me, I'd just say you can't take away my free will

Your defense is garbage and so are you. The moment you have government, your free will is infringed upon; otherwise, the government has no power.

Willieh: they only care if there's too many cases. Occasional cases are irrelevant to them

 

You're chasing intention. Look at the law itself. Intention isn't important.

 

If I kill a murderer, and my intention was just to get revenge on him; I've still killed a murderer.

Crab.. this is, the general forum, and not the debate section. Therefore members aren't expected to read up on their knowledge before talking about it.

Come now, Bloodrun. One doesn't need to have read up on anything; one simply needs common sense. If the government couldn't take away free will, then why would there be laws and prisons in the first place?

and therefore you'd still be charged with murder anyway' date=' suicide is different

Do I need to hit you in the head with a brick really hard to help you understand this?

 

A man came up to me and said

"I'd like to change your mind

By hitting it with a rock," he said,

"Though I am not unkind."

We laughed at his little joke

And then I happily walked away

And hit my head on the wall of the jail

Where the two of us live today.

 

that's a different form of taking away free will' date=' Crab.

If you were right, you'd be right. But you're not, so nobody cares.

 

The law is the law. If they can make laws against you killing others, they can also make laws against you killing yourself.

 

The reason that conviction is impossible is not that the law itself can be challenged, as you claim; it is that there exists an extremely obvious cast-iron defense that no prosecution in the world would even attempt to break, since the nature of the crime automatically proves the defense correct.

Free will cannot be taken away, because even if you threaten a man to the deepest core, that man still can do what he wants to do. With, or without consequences.

Many, many experiments on human nature prove otherwise.

Human nature?

Each person acts differently towards different forces.

What might make one man cry, will make another man kill.

It's not a reliable source, but it's a quick enough read, and they're all labeled if you want more info from google:

So to say free will can not be taken away is inaccurate, if not downright wrong. [/tangent]

Free will isn't being taken away, you are merely providing another reason for the target to change his/her mind.

Therefore, exchangeing their will with a seemingly better one. Therfore taking away their will.

To the point: People who do suicide correctly will get away with it, people who fail at it (lolattempted suicide) won't. The only way suicide can be punished is if the one trying to commit suicide fails, as for whether or not it's right, I'd think not. You can be all emo and kill yourself, but that'll impact many lives for the worse, so the best root is to suck it up and keep living.
