Do you think attempted suicide should be a crime?

[Anonymous]

Attempted suicide basically means a person intentionally tried to end their own life but failed

Yes

No

[On_cloud_wine]

No, and it shouldn’t be a sin, either. Whoever tries to commit suicide or is successful at it is obviously going through a really tough time. Mental pain and an upheaval of emotions is someone I think needs help and is sick. Not sick like they disgust me…

They’re not hurting anyone but themselves.

so everyone, be nice to people no matter what. Everyone is fighting some kind of battle out there even when you think they’re happy and have no problems

[Simslover92]

Nope. Most people who attempt to kill themselves are mentally ill or deeply depressed and need professional help from a psychiatrist/psychologist.

[Speaking_Frankly]

No. It is often a cry for help or from the person being in a terrible position where they think the world is better off without them.

Where I will make an exception is if the attempt on their own life harms others.

[TonyMetal___86]

Nope, because this person needs help, not going to throw more misery on them by making it a crime!

[avery58]

No? And the last thing that someone who survived a suicide attempt needs is to be to judged and punished by society when what they need is understanding, compassion, and help.

[jazzy34]

Absolutely not. That person needs help, not criminalized.

[D_Bone_Steak]

The fact that you civilians feel you have the right to take your own life just shows they need to get buck broken. God commanded you don't do it and you shalt not listen and now D_Bone says don't do it because you should troll.

[aquamint]

It shouldn’t be, honestly if I wanted to commit and failed why should it be considered a crime 🤨 I wanted to kill myself lol why should I have to go to court and get sentenced to it? And even then I could just attempt again in prison

[Kori1236]

Making it a crime is a really good way to get them to try again and be successful. They need help not jail

[silvermoon84]

Absolutely not! Suicide attempts are a cry for help, not a crime.

[AviatorTom]

Yes, it should be a crime, but punishment should be mental health help, not jail time or a fine. Making it a crime makes it easier to get the person help.

[dustybiker2]

I feel suicide like abortion is nobodies business but the direct family involved.

[NoDecision]

Not if they succeeded.

[Account]

As an act no. Unless you threaten other people with it when things do not go your own way as a form of manipulation. That in my opinion is a crime.

[NaultD]

It's so the police can intervene legally. I doubt anyone is prosecuting the crime.

[OneViewpoint]

It should be encouraged in MAGA cultists by any means possible.

[Lliam]

Oh yeah. Give them even more reason to be depressed and suicidal.

[FreyaRed]

No. Objectively looking is suicide one of few freedoms we have.

[Panthero80]

It should be a psychiatric referral. Most people who attempt suicide are suffering from depression, bipolar illness, schizophrenia, obsessive-compulsive disorder, eating disorders and various other mental illness. It is not a crime to be sick.

[leahzrc]

If i got arrested after trying to kill myself I would just want to die even more

[slatyb]

How would that help anything? Sounds like some religious BS.

[exitseven]

No, you should be able to do anything to your person.

[onedarkcloud]

Help should be sought to try to stop future suicide attempts. Help is needed, not incarceration!

[whereismyjohnny]

No. Getting them help and support, yes.

[Sal_Monella]

It should be a reason for s reason for mental intervention.

[qwerty2469]

I think it should be encouraged. Instead of the "I voted" stickers they should hand out better luck next time

[Anonymous]

Why? I have tried to do it before and i failed but id like to hear the argument on why you think me trying to take my own life should be a crime lol?

[RabiaArshad]

Yes
But sometimes life is so hard to live that it feels less heavy when you die.

[RageBabe]

No, of course not.

[Zack-Bann]

Only if the victim presses charges I would say ;)

[Dongie]

No! But they need placed in a mental ward.

[Brady]

I'm glad most said no.

[panera]

Nope
