Right to die

True, that argument doesn't apply to the original debate because gambling, initially, is a choice. Therefore they aren't very good analogies.

Obviously, people don't choose to be depressed. However, they're not insane. I still think depressed people can make choices. Many choose to take the more difficult way out - treatment. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Others choose to commit suicide. I respect both decisions because it is their body and they can do what they want with it, as long as it doesn't harm other individuals. The only time I don't think it is fitting for people to make big choices like this on their own is if they are clearly intoxicated or not thinking clearly. Yes, depressed people can think clearly. If your life isn't pleasing you then one rational choice is to end it. Who am I to say that choice is wrong and then try to prevent you from doing it?

Often times, when someone commits suicide, many people close to that person are hurt, not necessarily physically.
