Kazoo..
But my [arents didn't make a rational or any decsion to have me... they got drunk (in their late 30's!) had sex... 5 months later mum went to doctors thinking she had stomach cancer as her periods had stopped and her stomcach was hard... too late for an abortion... so if they considered killing me before I was even born, why the hell should I bother with the respect to stay alive simply to save my mother some pain?? I'm the on in pain here, its MY life now, I'm an adult, my mother doesn't give me any financial help in my life, I make all my own decisions these days, so why shouldn't I make this one decision for myself???

> 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 of genuine stupidity. Not just one person dies with an individual suicide. Show some respect.
