Personal+Freedoms suicide

    The rising suicide rates across the globe are disturbing. Over the past 45 years, the suicide rates have risen by 60%, they have nearly doubled, and are getting worse every year. As of 2016, a person commits suicide every 40 seconds, and the CDC believes that that number will rise to one every 20 seconds by 2020, a disturbing figure. The phenomenon has had little explanation as to cause, however i believe it is the fall in the number of people of faith, or religion. Over the past 50 years, more and more people have lost faith, and crime rates, and suicide rates have skyrocketed. But that is just a theory.

    The is becoming more and more of issue as the years pass. I see it with friends, co-workers, and have even dealt with it in close family. Often times it's the ones we don't even notice that actually do it, and the ones that say they're going to are the ones crying out for help. Always be aware of the people around you, and always offer help when you see someone needs it.

    It's sad to read about the growing rate of suicide and difficult to know why. Many people feel lost and insecure in this world and there can be many factors involved when someone decides to take their life away. There is also much debate about physician assisted suicide and whether or not it should be legal or how the process should be carried out.

    The statistic that 90% of suicide cases are related to a mental health disorder stands out to me. Maybe this is a field to look into?
  • casbautista on 04 Sep 16
     
    This is definitely interesting. Suicide can be quite complex. However, something to keep in mind is the manner in which suicide is reported. I know from my field of work that some families can choose not to report a family member's death as suicide. This is something important to note when looking at statistics.

    We all are aware and know how scary suicide can be but it is heartbreaking to know that every year the growing rate is rising. We see on the news and on social media that teens are committing suicide but we need to realize that it is not just teens, its all people. The best thing we can do for those who have thought of committing suicide is to be there and listen to them when help is needed.

    It's sad to hear about how often suicide happens. I wasn't aware of how bad it actually was. There are many different reasons people decide to take their life away. All we can really do is to try to be there for anyone who needs help and show people that you care. Sometimes it can be from the people we least expect.

    Assisted suicide is legal in a few states and still debated in a few other states. Other issues such as who should be responsible for aiding in the assisted suicide and who has the right to choose assisted suicide is still a debate. Six experts share their opinions and experiences relating to the topic.

    I find it very sad that suicide is the third-leading cause of death for teens and young adults. This article is very clear on what signs to watch for, how to address the person if you do see signs and how to get them help. I feel that after reading this article I will feel more comfortable speaking up in a situation if needed. I hope you guys read this and share it with friends and family.

    D'Arcy Lyness, PhD is the editing body of this article. These are the types of sources you want to use in a paper surely! http://kidshealth.org/media/khexperts/lyness.html This is a link to her accomplishments in field. I believe she is very qualified and this article is highly reputable. However I would like to see some statistics that support some of the claims in the article. I spent about 10 minutes reviewing the information in this article and have found some conflicting information(s). https://www.cdc.gov/violenceprevention/pdf/suicide-datasheet-a.pdf Above is a snap-sheet posted by the CDC summarizing suicide in 2015. The article I am responding to is dated August 15th. In both places the leading cause factor is different. The CDC claims that in ages 15-34 that suicide is the second largest contributing factor to teenage death. The internet is sleezy. I don't know what to believe anymore.
  • cathurrin on 30 Jan 17
     
    This is a great article that goes into depth about what causes suicide, what to look out for, etc. Some parents are kind of in the dark about this type of stuff, so it's awesome that such a source exists for parents before it is too late. It makes me sad that it is the third-leading cause of death. A permanent solution to a temporary problem..
  • taylortutrone on 30 Jan 17
     
    I agree 101% how terrible it is that this is the third leading cause of death. Life should not be about spending your time planning on how it will end. I am now happy though that I have the right tools to know how to deal with this type of social justice.

    Website covers the laws in various countries about assisted suicide. There are also links on the left to more info. One link is about Dr. Kevorkian and what he did for the right to assisted suicide. There is another link to a letter written by an advocate for assisted suicide saying why he does not campaign for the mentally ill to have the right as well.

    In this article it discusses people view on assisted suicide. People who are for assisted suicide believe it saves money, saves them personally from unnecessary suffering, and lets the individual determine their own faith. They believe is should be done with a physicians help.

    The article describes the debate to allow a person to choose euthanasia. The author looks at two points of view. One view sees the assisted suicide as compassionate. The other view sees it as murder; regardless of the circumstances.

    A hot topic after the recent rise in mental health awareness is weather or not suicide should be legal/assisted. This author talks about terminally ill patients and, patients with chronic pain that has no relief. Should they be given the choice? How would we decide who gets to choose and who does not?
  • waylenm98 on 04 Sep 18
     
    this article shows us the debates of assisted suicide I the sense of someone being hospitalized and being medically treated but has chance of dying. the article shows us arguments of if the person that being hospitalized is in great pain or on the last stages of dying they have the right to ask for the plus to be pulled. now reading this article you feel in sense of who is right and who is wrong in the issue and if these patients should have that choice or not.

    This website states the opinions of those who support physician assisted suicide as well as those who oppose it. This is a social justice issue because a patient who is very ill and suffering should have the right to physician assisted suicide.
  • saxonkuncis on 08 Sep 18
     
    This is something only me and my close friends can really talk about! In my opinion i believe yes but maybe rules should be added like approval from the family or a doctors approval.
  • kay2152202 on 01 Sep 19
     
    I have also found this topic interesting and very controversial. I have to say I'm on the fence here because as a healthcare worker, I do see some very sad situations within patients and their families. However, if someone is so sick to where they would want to end their life it is hard to say if they're in the right mind to make a decision like that.
  • chr2131264 on 02 Sep 19
     
    Physician Assisted suicide should be treated like abortion from my prospective. It should be heavily considered and heavily regulated and substantial counseling should go into leading up to the event itself. One thing to consider if you refuse someone to go out on their own terms, is they may find another way which may not result in a peacful passing for them.
  • seanburns89 on 02 Sep 19
     
    I think that this topic of Physician-Assisted Suicide takes the topic of suicide that we find extremely tragic and makes it okay. This idea of allowing people the choice to die with the assistance of a physician is just as tragic as people committing suicide.
  • atambience on 03 Sep 19

  • and2181940 on 03 Sep 19
     
    If someone is very ill and there is nothing that anyone can do to help they should have the right end there own lives. It's horrible having to live long days, suffering and waiting for your life to end.

    Suicide is something that is a huge issue nowadays. So many people are affected by this illness. It is a huge Social Justice issue that needs to be resolved.
  • anonymous on 27 Jan 18
     
    Suicide is definitely a major issue now days. I think there are a host of problems suicide/suicidal thinking can stem from; meaning that it in itself is not always the issue, but rather the result of other issues. I like how this sight has a list of actions that can be taken to help people with these tendencies.

    Website first tells the story of a man named Matthew Donnelly who developed skin cancer and his brother that was tried for murder after shooting his brother despite Matthew wanting to die. It then goes into why assisted suicide should be allowed and then why it should not be. Finally, it brings up a good point that assisting in the death of someone might violate the beliefs of those that might be required to assist.

    The site gives the information of the four states that have legalized physician assisted suicide. Each state has their own restriction and guidelines when PAS is accepted. The legal age is usually 18 except in the case of Montana where no legal protocol have been put into place. In the other 46 states and DC it is illegal and usually considered as manslaughter or second degree murder.
