[QUOTE="Emelee, post: 104075, member: 73"] It's a bit hard to judge these cases. I feel bad for those who are cursed with such depraved desires - as long as they fight against crossing the line. Those who don't fight against it, but instead feeds the desire should be treated as criminals, which is what they are. I've heard that being said so often, but I'm not sure that I agree with it. Why can't suicide be an answer for SOME people? What makes ones owns life so incredibly sacred that you must live on? We say we have a right to decide about ourselves and our own body, so why doesn't that apply when it comes to suicide? Sure, many problems can be solved. Depression, for instance. That can be cured, or at least be treated so it becomes more manageable. But all problems can't be solved. I think euthanasia should be legal. If you have an incurable illness that is too painful to live with, I feel that you should be able to get suicide assistance from a doctor, if that is what you want. I know that not being able to breathe is my biggest fear. If I got an incurable lung illness, I'd rather get an injection and die on my own terms. In Mark Salling's case, I can see why he did it. Living with a sick desire and be outed for it in front of the entire world is bad enough. Being sentenced to a long prison stay and having your career destroyed could push anyone over the edge.
