Going along the same vein as Hobo, having not read the thread due to the sillyness and what not, my opinion is as follows.

I believe in euthanasia for the terminally ill, where prolonged suffering is apparent.

Other than that, I think it's a completely insensitive and arrogant thing to do. With institutions popping up everywhere these days to deal with suicide and depression, as well as the swaths of information already available - I can not understand why a person would continue such a destructive downwards spiral. The notion that 'no one understands my suffering' is utter bullshit - there are plenty of people who have, and are in your situation.

If a person chooses to ignore available help, and uses suicide as an 'out', I'm afraid I have no sympathy for them.
