Suicide methods

Final Paper Suicide doesn’t need an explanation for one to know that it is a major problem not only worldwide, but in the United States. Suicide doesn’t merely affect one age group, or one race, it simply affects everybody. It is important to know the depths of suicide; how common suicide is, the characteristics of those most at risk, how the suicide rate has changed over the years, and the different suicide deaths by method.

Suicide has risen to be the tenth leading cause of death in the United States (U.S.) taking the lives of about 44, 773 people per year (American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, 2014). As if the idea of someone taking their own life isn’t terrible enough, several states in the U.S. have legalized physician-assisted suicide (PAS), a new method for one to take their own life.

Suicide: the act or an instance of taking one's own life voluntarily and intentionally (Merriam-Webster). Suicide is a very controversial issue. People debate over whether it is ever justified to take your own life. Julius Caesar holds several different suicides, some of which are done in cowardice, and others done with honor. The first suicide of the play is committed by Portia, Brutus’ wife, whose suicide is cowardly and done without necessity. She kills herself by swallowing hot coals, a…
