We should not stop people from committing suicide.

My opponent fails to realize that suicide is not the answer to mental illness, or will never be the best answer. My opponent fails to realize that living and finding a solution other than suicide is the better choice. As I have said (I don't think my opponent has rebutted against this) most suicides are brought on by depression. Most. Depression can be solved. Again, a lobotomy is a option, but that is extremely small, and no one knows what it is, or does. It was used for people with mental issues who were unstable, and very aggressive to calm them down. It has severe outcomes often than not, but it is an option. Although no one would consider it, but talking to someone, a change of life, going to classes, and so many other ways would be a better option, but again a lot of ways to get rid of depression which again, I stress this, is the biggest reason why people kill themselves in suicide. My opponent said this and I quote. "Some people can "get better". Others, and dare I say, most, cannot,". My opponent is clearly in the wrong here. MOST CAN AND WILL GET BETTER. The problem is, social media focuses on the negatives on everything. Suicide cases get reported all the time. Want to know something that doesn't get reported all the time? I'll tell you. People improving from depression through whatever means they use to combat it. There are MANY more people who get through their depression than ones who end their lives. If someone isn't mentally challenged, they can too more than likely pull through their depression. There are many ideas of why people kill themselves, and are unable to make it through these severe depressions. I'll do my best to find a link and comparison here for you guys. A comparison linking getting of depression vs stopping smoking, or quit drinking. A lot of people can't stop smoking or can't quit drinking cause they have it in their heads they cant. It's like people who are depressed, they have it in their heads that life will never get better for them, suicide is the only way. It's simply just not logical. This sorta what mental illness is in a nut shell, or at least a form of it. People are used to being method actors, someone who is so good at their role, they actually start believing they are that person they are acting and go beyond just the acting but live their life that way. Call me crazy, but people who can't snap out of their suicidal thoughts, or stop doing drugs are method actors. They have played their role so far into it, they have lost who they were before the depression came, before they started doing drugs. (Now lets just focus on depression since you guys know what I'm talking about). People are sheep in general, they are followers, many do not think outside the box, but the door is there, it will always be there. People with depression (yes im going to talk about depression cause it's the biggest leader in why people suicide). People with depression are convincing themselves "this is it, I can't go any longer". It's like people who think they are sick when they really aren't. It's in your head. You choose to believe that. As I said in my previous round.A lot of people who suicide do not get the help they need. It's well known. It's like those people who go and do mass murders. Well, people knew he was shooting guns and acting crazy but they never called the cops or anything did they? It's the same exact thing. People don't get help. People are also oblivious to anything. People with depression are stuck in depression cause they don't know any better. They can't see the light at the end of the tunnel cause their eyes are closed. So I'm saying depression can be solved, it can be prevented in MORE people than it is. I'm saying if we fix depression, then suicide numbers will drop down to an extreme all time low and it would be very rare. Will this ever happen? Probably not. But can it? Yes, but probably not. People are careless, greedy, selfish to help others. It's going to get that way more as we progress in the future. I quote my opponent again on reproduction. "I am saying that they should not be allowed to reproduce, and pass on their toxic genes. A very effective way of controlling the population of people with mental illnesses, is to let them take care of themselves." And I said they DO HAVE THE RIGHT to reproduce, yes I am aware you are saying they shouldn't but this entire argument from you can be thrown out the window because you cannot beat my argument when I said they do have the rights to reproduce. The goal of life is not reproduction. There is no official ruling. Again you are just making this up. Enlighten us and show us a confirmed official ruling that the goal of life is reproduction. You cannot. There are only a few suicide cases I would only agree with. For example people who have bad health problems and have this pain and are too poor to get treatment and decide to suicide kill themselves. I seen stories where people have had doctors kill them cause of pain. However, that is just a small itty bitty portion, most people again kill themselves over depression. So if that is the biggest cause which it still is, then we should not let people kill themselves, cause we know better, anyone who doesn't have a mental illness knows better. You just admitted you have had a PSTD in your argument, so clearly I can see why you are on the pro side because you still suffer from the PSTD, and why? Because you simply choose to, whether you believe it not. You refuse and have convinced yourself, THIS IS IT, THIS IS WHO I AM. But it is NOT. You are more than what you think you are. Everyone is, except they choose to accept who they think they are, and that can be brought on by a social construct problem cause people haven't learned to love each other, probably never will due to gangster rap music, and all these violent movies, games, bad upbringing, or whatever the hell it may be. If there is one thing I learned no matter how sad I get myself at times. It is never let yourself go, never lose yourself man.
