Not sure what the whole purpose(showing it on TV) of this is, but I don't think I would want to watch it.

T.V is almost there in its race to the bottom.My friend committed suicide last Saturday Morning,im still in utter shock from it and then i see them sort of glamourising this stuff as a tv show.Some kid could be watching aswell and get ideas,the media consumerist world is going down the sewers you know.:mad:
If a kid watching a TV program about suicide "gets ideas" I think the fault might lie a bit closer to home than with the big nasty TV executives.Quote:

Assisted suicide needs a debate, those who are advocates of it are usually those in direct contact with it, and make a good argument generally. I don't agree with it, but people who are not directly affected by those completely incompacitated usually don't agree. Its a completely different issue to suicide imo.Quote:

If I were dying of cancer with not one shred of medical hope left I would sooner be allowed to pass away with some dignity than to wallow in a bed fading away.
And before people go on about people commiting suicide for x, y, or z beleive me I have seen plenty enough in my years to arrive at my point of view.
