i was this article today on the internet and it reminded me of the contrviersial subject of assisted suicide and wether it was right or wrong. since suicide is wrong (according to the bible as is murder) then assisted suicide can't be right...what are your thoughts? p.s. here's a link to the article, although it was very gruesome... aolsvc.news.aol.com/news/article.adp?id=20040130050009990001

that was so terrible, and then he ate the person....eww gross!!!! Assisted suicide is even worse than suicide because two people get claimed for murder, not just one. One guy killed himself, and the other guy killed that guy, and there is no way to say you regret it now, because he must have known it was wrong in the first place but he did it anyway....ewww

That's some creepy shit. It's never right to eat another human being's body. I'm a little wishy-washy on assisted suicide, however; if a person's life has been reduced to an utter lack of dignity and pain is constant (such as by terminal illness or if they're on a breathing machine) and it is their wish to die then those who let that happen shouldn't be called murderers. Many definitions of murder I find online include the thought that malice is involved in the act; assisted suicide does not include that. There was no indication in the given case that there was any real reason for the "victim" to allow himself to be killed in that way, though, I view that entire incident as wrong and wish that some kind of evaluation of the "victim"'s mental health could have been carried out, he may well have not been a healthy man in that respect.

Wow, that guy has some serious issues. Assisting in the killing of someone and then eating them ... wow, just wow. Messed up.
Also, is it just me of does the guy look like a young Mr Blair?

yeah, i definitely think assisted suicide is wrong, becasue your basically killing that person. you couldve helped them, but instead, you told them it was okay, and then assisted in killing them....now that just doesnt seem like something someone should help out on, does it?

I heard about that a couple weeks ago. the guy had a forum about it. he got like 80 replies. I think that it is just sick, and 8.5 years is not enough, that guy should be locked up for the rest of his life in a mental institution. its just sickening. as for assisted suicide, i think it is wrong. killing is wrong no matter what. very sad

I heard about that story awhile ago. Thats just sad, but even sadder considering the number of people who would've alowed that man to kill and then eat them (alot of people replied to his offer if I recall correctly). I feel assisted suicide is wrong, no less wrong then suicide. Its probably worse, considering someone knew about it and helped them kill themself rather than talking them out of it. God gives you the gift of live and you reject it. That's not cool. I have empathy, and I do feel bad for people who have to live in extreme pain, but assisted suicide isn't the way to go. You just gotta suck it up and put up with the pain. I know I probably sound like a cold, unfeeling bastard right about now, but I'll have you know I'm not. I undestand it sucks to be in pain, but life doesn't always go the way you want it to. Anyway, I don't think that guy will be able to serve his whole sentence, people in prison don't take kindly to cannibals. They stand even below child molesters in the prison heirarchy.
