I mean if someone survives from comitting suicide then  after that will he be put to jail  or fined  in CANADA??\n\nwell  i heard  that the survivors, who went to commit suicide, never wanna do that again as it seems its too frightening to see ur death from close .\n \nBut my quesation is what if the person survived then  will he be sent to jail or if he is a foreigner in a country then  will he be deported ?\n\nI need to know about the Canadian Law but answers from other places will be appreciated too :))

Actually, Canada rarely deports those who attempt suicide. Canada is very considerate of "depression" and usually offers help to the person first. Yes, they are usually remanded to a psychiatric facility for treatment.

Yes, suicidal people are very difficult to live with.  My room-mate and best friend of over 20 years committed suicide last December 16th, and was increasingly hard to live with in the several months before that.  Sometimes I think they want you to say, "well, go ahead and get it over with," so that they don't have to feel guilty.  But of course if you do, and they "call your bluff," you will feel horribly guilty afterwards.  So you struggle to find something to say to make them want to live, and make them stop talking in that depressing way.  \n\nBut you specifically mentioned older people.  There comes a time when medical science can keep a person alive past all reason.  This is a very, very different question.  If a person who is obviously in pain, has little prospect of having any improvement in their condition, talks about suicide, I think you have to be sympathetic, but avoid saying no, no, don't do it.  It may in fact be the most sensible thing for them.  Of course, it would equally be a mistake to encourage them to do it, because of the aforementioned guilt.  Still, going to extremes to prevent it is probably just being cruel.  \n\nIn the end, suicide is the one thing that absolutely must be a decision of the individual involved.

I myself know six people who've committed suicide...all men....3 relatives, 2 high school friends and one friend from college. I think that everyone has a different method of coping and everyone's method isn't as good as others. And I also think everyone has limits to what they can handle and if people haven't learned how to cope with life's struggles, it's easy to see how they can succumb to suicide.\n\nI've forwarded the following link to friends and acquaintances many times who've said they've reached their limit. I tell them to read just page 5, if not the entire book.\n\nhttp://www.hopeline.com/docs/suicide.pdf#search='suicide%20the%20forever%20decision' \n\nIt's a PDF, so you'll need Acrobat Reader to view it.\n\nThere was a time more than a dozen years ago when I reached my limit and someone who could tell, saved me by asking me to read only page 5. I ended up reading the entire book. And I'm still here, so it must be good stuff.\n\nAnd luckily after surfing the Internet one day I found the book, now free on the Internet as a service to others.\n\n:)

Sorry to here about that.  I am a Canadian and married to an American woman for over 8 years.  Still love her and not abusive.  As far as I know, he can be deported if all he has is a green card.  That is not citizenship in this country or even in Canada.  It permits you to work, etc. here but it does not protect you from exportation.  Your daughter or you signed a promise to support order for however many years.  I think it's 10.  You may not want to make him too upset till you find out more on that one as you or her may be responsible for supporting him.  He is eligible for citizenship at this point and, if nothing is done (ie. criminal charges for abuse, etc.) soon, it will be too late.  If your grandchild was born in the US, that child is a US citizen and cannot be taken from the country without a court order or permission.  Hope this bit helps.

It depends on the country you are going to.  The US will allow you to leave but all countries have their own policies on entry.  A related example of this is that the US doesn't stop people with DUI's from coming here (If they are a misdemeanor).  Canada regards all DUI's as felonies and thus will not allow someone with a DUI to legally enter Canada without special permission.

.Nope they wont call the cops on you. If they did nobody would ever call. You'll be totally anonymous. They're there to help people. Simple as that. Sometimes a person has nobody to talk to at all. No family or friends they feel comfortable with. Sometimes talking to a complete stranger is easier. Plus the person who answers the phone knows what they're talking about. They've either tried to commit suicide or they had someone they were close to commit suicide.\nI'm not qualified to talk to anybody about it really. My best friend did shoot himself in the head though just over 6 years ago now. So I do know from personal experience the pain he caused me and his family. He left a wife and two little girls. I didn't get a chance to help him. I had no idea it was coming. Tell your friend to deal with their pain and talk to someone so their family and friends don't have to feel it. k?\n.

Look at the list of countries who still have capital punishment on the books, you would not want to be associated with most of them. Why put him out of his misery, let him suffer for the rest of his life. You would be doing him a favor by killing him, and lowering yourself to the murderers level. People actually think that criminals consider this consequence when they are doing a crime, most of them don't believe they will ever be caught. He deserves worse than death.

Each state has its own set of sentencing guidelines.\n\nAs to the other apart of your statement, the charge would stick, as long as the person lives...additional charges would be filed if should they die as a result of the action. And NO, the judge isn't going to lenient because you're a lousy shot!

Well, I gotta agree with it for the Mexican border. I live not to far from the boarder of Juarez (Mexico), and I think it'll help out a lot. This is where all the kids go to party since the legal drinking age is eighteen. There are American who go there who get kidnapped and held up for ransom, girls who are kidnapped and sold as sex slaves (yes, that does happen), along with kids driving back across the border and killing themselves or someone else because their drunk. There is also a lot of teens developing alcohol blood poisoning. Also when a murder is committed around this area in the states, that's the first place the murderer goes...and usual get there before the police can label them as a suspect. From there, they simply disappear, living a good life on a Mexican tropical beach. \nI'm not saying that everything will stop, but do think things will improve. I am very hopeful. I'm not sure when it's going to take effect, but the sooner the better. \nAs far as having a passport to get into Canada, I can't really give you an answer on it because I not sure what all happens on the Canadian border.

There may be an on going investigation that you are not aware of.  Please speak to the policeman that you gave the report to and ask for an update.  Sometimes what we think is a done deal, is not enough for our courts to hang someone with.  I'm glad you had the courage and fortitude to do something about it.  Good for you!

NO! I'm from Ontario, Canada.  Under a certain amount (grams) you will only get a fine instead of going to jail.  People seem to think we're just a bunch of igloo dwelling, gay marrying, beer drinking, potheads who are too polite, and say aboot instead of about.

I sure hope you read this and not just let it go by. Let me ask you this, lets say you are married and have a family you leave for a while, an leave them alone an someone kills them, so the laws ask you do you what to fry them or let them do a experiment that we are doing on cancer treatment that we think is the cure. After doing the experiment and it is over with, they have a cure and the person is released just how would you feel. Do you think justice was served. I don't so, because the person made headlines twice, once for killing your family and another for helping to find the cure for cancer.

When I was 15, my mom (god bless her) was brutally murdered. I was angry, suicidal, super emotional. So is suicide normal. . . All I can say is that the best advice I was given is this; the pain of the death of a loved one never goes away. It changes, you learn how to live with it. I never thought the post traumatic stress would end but it did. Please find someone you can trust and let it out. You can even e-mail me through Q&A. My heart really goes out to you. You are not alone!

I think its wrong for the government to deny these people death. If it is the only possible alternative then let them go. Living puts them in much more agony and pain than death.\n\n\nBut those emo suicidal people need to get a grip.

I've known of a person personally who killed his own wife because he told her to hold his money and not give it to him when he asked so he wouldn't buy drugs. She didn't and she's gone. I grew up around many people that used and are still using today over 20 years. There is nothing you can do but save yourself and walk away. More than likely, you've been telling them to leave it alone and they know the consequences. It's up to them. Don't be a victim and get your heart broken watching them kill themselves. THEY HAVE TO WANT TO STOP! Then you can help them by offering them information on different treatment programs. But until they want help, there is nothing you can do.

in a way it is very ironic but I think that many people feel the same way. I know that I myself believe in the death penalty for extreme crimes but otherwise not at all. See the problem that I see with encouraging to kill themselves is that often times the people guilty of such crimes don't feel guilt for their crimes, so why would they kill themselves. I don't know guess i am rambling. Good Luck in deciding
