Suicide is an Extreme idea. No matter what happens, there will be Major changesin your life, and many of them are usually thought of as unpleasant things. Moreover, many of these changes can't be undone (even if you survive). That said, under any set of circumstances and for any reason, it's not something that should be considered except as a very last resort, and many say not even then.

The case for suicide focuses on situations where the life-situation is irretrievable and will inexorably deteriorate. An example -- ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis -- Lou Gehrig's Disease) is an incurable disease that leads to chronic and permanent neurological deterioration.

Eventually, voluntary movement disappears, and the patient dies from respiratory collapse. It's painful, costly and at this time there is no cure. Quite a few of Dr. Jack Kevorkian's clients had ALS. In their case, the patients, their medical consult and often the families agreed that suicide was worth consideration.

However, in less grave circumstances, the pro's for suicide get more and more vague.

In summary, if there's a chance of recovery and a way to possibly make things tolerable, then suicide is, for me anyway, not a good idea.

Yes, alcohol is often a factor in committing suicide. Some people use alcohol for extra "courage" before they attempt suicide. For others, it is their drinking problem that steers them towards suicide, since they see their alcoholism as evidence that they have no hope.


Is suicide infectious?

The idea of it may be but it certainly isn't a virus that you can get from being around someone. If you are around people who committed suicide or people who talk about suicide, try to get counseling. If your friend or someone you know wants to commit suicide, try to get them help as well. It is "contageous" in the sense that depressed people who see or hear of other people committing suicide will be more likely to want to commit suicide as well. That is one reason to resist the urge to commit suicide, since someone may want to follow in your footsteps and do it too. It is even worse when the person is very popular or influential. Someone may reason, "If it is good enough for ______, then it is good enough for me."
