Do you think soaps should portray this, because there will be copycats? Views on the right to end your own life?

Coronation street viewers killing themselves?
Can't see a downside.

This puts Samaritans in a difficult position as
they teach that everyone has the right to take their own life.
Sams are often portrayed as anti suicide. They are not although they do hope to help prevent it.

^ This
Darwinism, innit.

I like how soap stars have to be trained in how to deal with nutters, because there are people out there who can't differentiate between the actor and the character.

That said, actors talking about characters in the third person is really annoying - likewise authors about the characters they create, "I wanted to see how far Bond was prepared to go on this" WELL YOU'RE WRITING THE BOOK YOU DIPSTICK! TELL US!

Sadly people relate a great deal to soap characters.
Probably because they haven't much going on in reality.

To be fair, if someone said I had an incurable cancer that was going to give me many months or even a year or two of pure agony.
At some point or another, i'd probably consider an overdose with or without the soap's help.

I think if your quality of life is permanently damaged then you have the right to choose.
What doctors would happily take upon this challenge though?

Damn humans and our morals!
( GeordieJay Bummers are deaf, Tue 14 Jan 2014, 11:15, Reply)

I would suggest that most doctors would agree
the problem isn't with human morals its with the false morals from the various religions that say only god can choose when to take you. So if that means years of pain then so be it.
