People should be allowed to commit suicide

My opponent's first argument is about religion preventing suicide. This is the choice of the individual. The individual can chose which is more important to them the religion or the amount of suffering. A group of people believing in a certain religion should not try to stop an individual from committing suicide; however if the individual believes in a religion that prevents suicide, and chooses not to commit suicide because of it; then that is there choice. Overall, religion is the choice of the individual, but other religions should not try to intervene to stop someone from committing suicide. I'd agree with my opponent that it is a waste of potential if there are any other options. However, sometimes the suffering can be so intense that it is no longer possible to contribute anything positive. In that case nothing is wasted and only a negative is gotten rid of by committing suicide. If a community member has such intense suffering and misery then it's too late for anything positive. Overall, there is a stage where it is too late to do anything positive, and in that case it is morally correct to commit suicide. I'd agree that therapy does sometimes take a long time. However, I don't think with any therapy you could try it for a year and see absolutely no progression at all and for it to still work. I'm not saying they need to be cured within a year in order to not commit suicide. They just need to be going in the right direction. If over that period of time, there is no improvement at all then they should be able to commit suicide. Overall, there are signs of therapy working or not working, and if there is no progression, then people should be allowed to commit suicide. My point with the suffering is if it is so intense, that they can no longer do anything. If the person, can't do anything positive or isn't able to work because the suffering is so bad, then they should be allowed to commit suicide. Even if they are able to work, if the suffering is so bad that they just feel miserable every day, then it is okay to commit suicide. They shouldn't not commit suicide just for others if they hate every day that much. It is more likely that the others will recover much more quickly than the suicide victim. Through therapy the family around the individual committing suicide may be able to understand that it's not their fault, but the individual committing suicide may never be able to stop the suffering that they're going through. Overall, with a lot of suffering a person should be able to commit suicide. I disagree with my opponent about being able to overcome any suffering. I think the human mind is incredible, but I don't think it can overcome any amount of suffering. It depends on the person; one person may be able to overcome a lot of suffering and be fine. However, another person might never be able to get over their suffering. The person who isn't able to end their own suffering shouldn't have to live with that, and therefore, they have the right to commit suicide. There are some situations which there is no fix to. The individual isn't being irresponsible by committing suicide they are simply getting rid of an incredible amount of pain. I don't believe that an individual who commits suicide is irresponsible as they are just helping themselves. I think that suicide is a cure in the most extreme circumstances where it is impossible that there could have been any other solution. Overall suicide is morally right. People should be allowed to kill themselves in the most extreme situations. It's not an irresponsible act, but it is simply something that is necessary. Nobody should have to cope with the pain and suffering, and if this is the only way out of it, people should be entitled to kill themselves. Overall, suicide is morally correct in the most extreme of situations as it can help people get rid of personal pain and suffering when there is no alternative solution.
