I'm about to take up a position which will be deemed by some, if not all, as a.

             As a matter of fact, if anyone were to agree with me on this subject, I'd be .

             shocked. For you see, rather than arguing from a position of suicide being an unjustified and .

             senseless way to die, I shall argue the other point. That being suicide does have its merits. So, .

             before you start debating, hear my case out. .

             Most people argue that nothing justifies the taking of someone's life. Yet what makes life so .

             valuable? Why do people cling to it so? All we consist of is a bunch of carbon atoms, bound .

             together to form an exoskeleton, organs, and tissue. In this light, there really is not much to life. Out .

             of the 5 billion who inhabit the planet, very few of them shall emerge to be true world leaders. The .

             rest will just lead a mediocre life of work and little play. The taking of ones life can be argued .

             from a populist view as well. It makes little sense to preserve life in an over populated world. .

             True, one less person here or there will not make a large dent. Yet if everyone who attempts or had .

             attempted suicide were not stopped, the impact would be recognized. Another popular argument .

             for stoppers, people who want to prevent suicide, is that nothing can be bad enough. Yet how do .

             they know this? They do not have to put up with the same stuff the suicide victim does everyday. .

             How could they possibly know what the potential suicide victim feels. Just as a severely burned .

             victim may wish to be allowed to die in peace, the suicide victim wishes the same. To die in .

             peace with no argument from others. .

             The argument of "look at the people you will hurt" also does not hold. Immediate family .

             members will be the only ones to suffer any great pain. Friends will go on with their lives and in .

             time forget about the death. Immediate family too will forget the loss in time. Although it will take .

             most considerably longer for them than it will for friends.
