Non-verbal cues are ambiguous and can easily be misread. Many people endure sex they don't really want, just because their partner didn't bother to ask.

Then the person receiving the unwanted attention should make it clear that this is not wanted. If they simply endure it without wanting it, and not communicate this in any way, they are stupid.

I've played them both before on the original PlayStation, I know both games in and out, I just have more memories with the second, and I had to purchase the third, and I previously bought FFIX for it, so I have no more funds left, except a 20 dollar bill that I could potentially use, but I do need a haircut.
And if I end up spending that 20 on another PSN card, one of the last games I'll be looking to buy will be Crash Bandicoot, also, my memory stick is almost filled, I couldn't even fit another game onto it, so I have to beat FFIX, delete it, and then download another game, and I don't even know where my 20 will hae gone by then because I'm not really too good at saving my money.

Whaaaaaaaaaat?!?! No no no, I mean more like the right to terminate your life before the quality of it diminishes. For example, your doctor has told you that you only have 8 months to live, and the last 3 will be spent in the hospital stuck in a bed and in immense pain. You could choose at the 5 month mark to have the doctor end your life. What do you think the restrictions on this should be? Do you think people should have this option?

Well, I suppose when you put it that way I can see a little more clearly what you mean. Though I would say a minimum age would have to be met so a determined 14 year old can't just convince themselves they want to die. As well, as you said, a mental evaluation should be done before they are. well for lack of better words, approved to die.

I would hope that you would include chronic depression in this category (in instances where counselling/medication was unsuccessful). Actually introducing this death option would be a good thing.

If you are ever going to do this, I implore you to do it via awesome adventure. Think about it: You are about to kill yourself, you have nothing you think is worth keeping you around for, so why don't you leave the country and go on the most exciting adventure of your life? Travel around and see the world as a bum, go to a turbulent country like Libya and fight alongside the civilians, go fucking climb a fucking mountain and live with some monks. You could be 100% fearless. You were going to die anyways, so what the fuck do you care if you try to do something dangerous and fail?
If you aren't willing to throw everything away and go on a suicide adventure, you aren't really depressed enough to commit suicide in the first place.
