> But the parents of the suicide victim made the decision, rational or otherwise, for this "victim" to exist, so how do you think they would feel knowing that the individual they created and nurtured for so many years performs the ultimate insult by committing the ultimate act
KazooAs understanding as my parents are, and being my parents (sharing the same genes - beliefs - whatever,) they wouldn't take it personally. Sure they would feel a loss, but hey life goes on.
Having the option gives some peace. I can wake up in the morning or when I go to bed measure the past and future, and if the scales tip too far knowing that I have a way out gives me strength.
Though if the shoe was on the other foot I would fight diligently for my child.
Perhaps this is a thread I shouldn't have visited?
