One caveat. even if you have a living will, your living relatives have the final say if you are unable to speak for yourself.

It is therefore very important for you to make your wishes known to your nearest relatives and get their agreement to honor your wishes should the situation require it.

At that point they still have the right to decide whether or not to honor your "Living Will."

A.M., As they say, the penalty for suicide is death.

So I guess you have already been punished, case closed.

If I were to ever commit suicide. I would want to make it look like an accident. That way my relatives would get the double indemnity on my insurance.

That is assuming I'm not so mad at them that I don't want them to get the money.

Moons do not have their own source of light, but rather reflect light. Most light comes from gaseous compounds such as stars.

I just love how you are more smarter then me and could always prove me wrong. :)

With Pluto, there are now 5 dwarf planets. If Pluto gets it's planet status back the others should be planets too.

The first five recognized dwarf planets are Ceres, Pluto, Eris, Makemake and Haumea. Scientists believe there may be dozens or even more than 100 dwarf planets awaiting discovery.

Well, that depends on their conviction.

Even a single offense of first-degree premeditated murder can get someone life if they're unfavorable to the jury. The only time a true serial killer, assuming it is someone with multiple accounts of premeditated homicide, would roam free is if they escaped their containment.

Yes, there are ways to appeal, but often a murder case will not be granted an appeals court unless new evidence comes to light that could potentially change the verdict.

And as for criminally insane, those who are to the point of negative mental health that they are a danger to themselves or society are put under supervision, generally a mental ward.

Ha ha l'm supposedly a danger to myself and society... but here l am free....

By legal standards, many teenagers should be put into mental wards. With the current high in teenage self-harm, that constitutes a danger to yourself by psychiatry issue.

The neurology and psychology behind depression and self-harm are rather elaborate. Self-harming is disregarding the brain's self-preservation mechanism. And at the point of suicide, it's to the point where chemical imbalance has clouded the natural desire of survival and allows the person the capability to end their own life intentionally.

No, but if you are told from the time you first notice you have male or female body parts that because you touch them you are gay, it influences what you think about yourself.

In the same way if you are told from that same time that it is shameful to touch your own or another person of the same gender's body parts, that also would influence what you thought about yourself.

If you were allowed to know that it is normal to notice your own body parts and the differences in others and informed that the different genders have different body parts, then you would be able to have a choice, and you could let your feelings choose for you.

In fact It would probably be better if we were all nudists, and not afraid to talk about sex openly without judgement.

then the world would be less horrible.. exactly!

While I definitely believe that sexuality is a genetic trait, I agree with Ken here.

Certain traits can be "removed", so to speak, due to life experience. I never knew it was odd or different to find attraction to the same gender, and it wasn't until around 6th grade that I actually knew what "gay" meant and became insecure about it.
