Default Re: Mother commits suicide at same spot as her only daughter

[ QUOTE ]
Fine. Even though mason's doing a fine job already.

[ QUOTE ]
It is an intensely stupid and selfish act for this girl to have killed herself over some little tiff with her boyfriend.

[/ QUOTE ]
As already stated, you have no idea what other [censored] she had going on inside that drove her to make this decision. To assume to know her complete reasoning and trivialize her pain based on a 300 word column on bbc belies 3rd grade reasoning skills at worst and small-minded arrogance at best.

[ QUOTE ]
In a sense, her life is not hers to take. As an only child, she killed three people when she killed herself.

[/ QUOTE ]
Whose exactly is it to take, if not hers, and how does her mother only having one child instead of 2 or 3 or 7 have any impact on that? Is the right to live my own life as I choose highly or completely dependent on if I have any siblings iyo?

Maybe it's my lapsed Catholicism coming out, but I don't really believe anyone has the right to take their own life. There are difficult cases with the terminally ill, but that's my general thought.
