If we all die eventually, why is suicide considered wrong?

Question

If we all die eventually, why is suicide considered wrong?

Answer 1

That is a very good question and many people have different views on this matter. Some people find it selfish because not only are you taking your life without Gods consent but you are also causing emotional and mental pain to the people that love/loved you. Some people see nothing wrong with it and that's okay. I know I would never let anyone I know kill themself. I would literally walk 10,000 miles just to help someone I care about.

Answer 2

There is a tremendous difference between euthanasia, which is defined as "the act or practice of killing or permitting the death of hopelessly sick or injured individuals in a relatively painless way for reasons of mercy" and suicide, the deliberate choice for a person of sound body and mind to end his or her life.



We have the compassion to allow a terminally ill animal to die with dignity, and I am not at all morally opposed to extending the same consideration to someone whose quality of life cannot be improved and is in agony. In the case of euthanasia the loved ones of the ill person often want the person to be allowed to gently pass away because they cannot bear to witness him or her suffering, and it actually brings a sense of relief after the death that the person is finally resting in peace. The exact opposite emotions are probably felt by those who have lost a loved one to suicide. In order for euthanasia to be considered, there must be no medical hope that the person's condition can improve, so their loved ones are better able to accept that there is nothing that they can do to save him or her, but I imagine that after a suicide the family and friends of the person would feel tortured wondering what they could have done. When a person kills himself or herself, it only feels like there is no hope, and with their act they steal some of the hope and the light of all those who loved and cared about him or her.



You are right that that the world is overpopulated, but suicide offers no remedies. A girl in Canada who kills herself will not improve the condition of those living in the overcrowded slums of Calcutta in any way. And not wanting to be alive is not a reason to no longer live. Suicide is a permanent "solution" to what is almost always a temporary problem. This spring I wrote an article about cyber bullying for a teen publication, and part of my research included learning about the reasons for and the aftermath of kids who killed themselves as a result of it. I watched the interviews the mother of an 18-year-old girl gave about finding her daughter's body in her room after she'd hung herself, and her anguish was so visibly intense I had to fight back tears. The girl had been taunted and bullied in person and online after her ex-boyfriend uploaded the "sext" messages containing topless photos of herself that she had sent to him. I've also followed the case of Megan Meier, the 13-year-old who hung herself with a belt after receiving a MySpace message from a boy she had a crush on telling her that the world would be a better place without her in it. It wasn't until months later that it was revealed that the "boy" was actually the mom of her one of her rivals. The pain both girls felt was obviously very real, but with time their emotional wounds would have begun to heal. My stepmom's sister is 28 and told me that at 14 she seriously contemplated killing herself because of the girls who ferociously bullied her everyday, but that she later patched things up with one of them and becoming close friends, and cannot even remember the last name of another one of the girls now. I also witnessed the way my friend's family was shattered by her brother's suicide. He was 22 and depressed about losing his girlfriend and his first job out of college, so he shot himself one afternoon in his bedroom. His mom was the one who found him. Her parents marriage of 30 years ended in divorce the following year, and her mom became addicted to pain killers. It was a tragedy for all.



The greatest gift each of us will ever receive is life. And no, your life is not simply yours to do whatever you want with it because each of us is in a way connected to one another, and the choices you make do not just affect you. Suicide is not only a devastating blow to all who love and care about you, but a waste of all the energy and efforts everyone put into your life. It's selfish to the teachers who taught you and the taxpayers who helped to fund your education (or your parents who paid your tuition), to the nurses and doctors who delivered you and cared for you, to the people who built the parks and paved the roads to bring joy and ease to your life, and to everyone who has put their own life in harms way so that you may sleep soundly in your bed at night. It's selfish to the people who will take your body away and clean up the mess you've left behind.



Suicide is horrible, but the person thinking about it is not. Those who are considering ending their life need support and reasons for why they shouldn't, not scorn and ridicule.



The very act of birth is painful, and until we take our last breath we will each continue to have hurt in our lives, but I believe that we were each put on this planet with a purpose and a responsibility, and the primary one is simply to live. I hope the question is purely hypothetical, but in case it's not you should know that you, lovely Livvy, have already made the world brighter, and I have faith in your ability to continue to contribute to it. Just the other day when I was clearing out a cupboard I came across a marshmallow bunny and smiled and thought of you. I would be delighted to email or IM with you anytime.

Answer 3

I thought the same thing not too long ago. That was not a good time in my life, and I wanted to kill myself. Now, I think I get things a little better.



First off, suicide is cowardly. That's why I didn't do it. I would have been ashamed of myself. Suicide is taking your life away before it's your time. Suicide is running away from all your problems and leaving them for someone else to fix.



Killing yourself hurts your family, your friends and everyone else who knew you. It puts guilt on too many innocent people. Yes, it is their life. And I guess they should be able to do whatever they want with it. But by killing yourself, you're taking not only your own life but bits and pieces of the lives of everyone who loved you.



And I know that not everybody is religious, but to those that are there is another reason. I believe that my life isn't mine to begin with. It's God's. He gave me life, and to take it away would be ungrateful and wrong.



Yes, we all die. But only when it is our time to do so. Everyone has a reason why they are alive. The world isn't so over populated that they would be better off without someone who wasn't naturally ready to die.

Answer 4

I guess it is selfish because you're leaving everyone but with your choice



If you die naturally, people cant be mad at you because you didn't purposely do it. However I agree With you with the "we all die eventually" thing



I've attempted suicide and asked a question on here about it and people told me I was selfish.. I was really offended too



edit: "Jacobs Mommy | 36 weeks w/ #2" when people attempt suicide, normally they're younger then 30 and are in depression. They're not too selfish to realize people care about them, they're too upset to realize people care about them.



edit again: People are saying its messing up everyones future around you, well obviously if someone killed themselves

thats not messing up anyones future. It was suppose to happen. If it wasn't, then it wouldn't have happened

Answer 5

You told your friends you'd go see a movie together later on. You promised you'd always be there for your sister, to love and protect her. You said you'd never want to hurt your family. You told your coach you'd practice harder and be on the field first thing in the morning.



Then you commit suicide.



It's your life. You've done the last thing you could do with your life--taken it away from everyone around you. You're reinforced the belief that it's your body, so therefore you have a right do to whatever you want with it. But you've also taken away something from every person who knew you, despite what their feelings may have been for you.



Isn't that selfish?



Now you can't protect and love your sister as you'd promised. You've hurt your family beyond repair. You won't be on the field tomorrow morning. And you're not going to see that movie with your friends.



Isn't that selfish?



How about a mom who commits suicide?



Who's going to take her place in her kids' lives?



What about a dad?



Who's going to take his place in his kids' lives?



Your best friend in the world? The co-worker you always exchanged chitchat with? Your boss? The stranger you saw sitting on the stairs as you passed by his apartment every morning on your way to the bus stop? The quiet girl who was always getting picked on for the way she dressed? Your teacher?



These people can do whatever they'd like with their lives. It's their choice. However, their death will affect you in one way or another. Depending on how well you knew them, and how often you saw them, it may cause you great pain to know they weren't there, or it may not cause you that much pain.



What if your best friend committed suicide? You're saying she can do whatever she wants with her life. Fine. She commits suicide. You find out and your life all of a sudden spirals out of control. You fall into a deep depression. You feel lost and hopeless and unloved. You feel life is not worth living anymore.



You commit suicide.



How much do you think the loss of those two lives is going to affect the people around you?



Whether we like it or not, whether we know it or not, whether we accept or not, we're all connected. This is not only my world. It is not only your world. It is our world. What we all do with our lives affects the people around us--it may even affect people who aren't around us. And the world being overpopulated doesn't make suicide okay.



Suicide has never been known to be the solution. It is the problem. A permanent one.

Answer 6

I agree that it really shouldn't be looked on as a bad thing, for the most part. I've dealt with a lot of suicide in my life, and I understand that in many people's lives, the pain (physically, mentally, emotionally) is just too much, and they should not be expected to live with that.



However, I do think that in most cases, suicide is also very selfish. When someone takes their own life, they are either not thinking of the incredible pain others will go through because they've lost a loved one...or they know exactly how much pain it will cause, and they're doing it on purpose to get back at those people.



My grandma committed suicide. When she took her life, she planned it so that my grandpa (who was an abusive jerk and had been cheating on her throughout their 40 year marriage) would find her. That was vindictive of her, and incredibly selfish. On the other hand, that is the one and only selfish thing she's ever done, and knowing my grandpa, the ****** deserved it. But on the OTHER hand...I lost my grandma, my mom lost her mom, and everyone else who knew her and loved her lost her, too. Did WE deserve that? But again, on the other hand, she was just in so much pain (emotionally)...I understand her desire to just get it over with. Women in her family just live forever, and her life was just about as hellish as can be.



ETA: Sorry, had to run to a meeting all of a sudden.



My Great Uncle (the same grandma's younger brother) also committed suicide. I wasn't very close to him, so I can't speak to his reasons, but the way he went about it was absolutely the most selfish act of anyone I've ever known - it's disgusting. He and his wife were getting a divorce, and he kidnapped his wife. He brought her back, and when he let her go, in front of their son, he turned the "hostage" gun on himself. His wife and son had to witness his horrific death, after the already traumatic ordeal of the kidnapping.



Another uncle, this time my mom's brother, also took his life (the son of the same grandma who committed suicide...lots of suicide in my mom's family). He was extremely mentally ill. He had a difficult time separating reality from his illness. Sometimes, he would take a medication and think, "hey, one of these pills works great...just imagine what 50 of them would do!" This is most likely what killed him, although he may have done it on purpose to just get out of his life.



My point is that suicide is almost always selfish (I can't think of an example of a time when a suicide WASN'T selfish...i.e. based on what's happening inside the person, rather than what would be best for others), but at times it makes sense...while at other times, it's just an a**hole thing to do to people. Usually there are elements of both (like with my grandma).

Answer 7

I wouldn't consider it wrong, just selfish.

They leave behind all the people that love and care for them, sometimes without a reason given. They are the ones who are left behind to grieve and re-build their lives. It's an easy way out i guess, and sometimes i don't blame them.

But sometimes i get pretty mad. I lost my friend to suicide when she was just 12, she did it to get some attention from her parents who neglected her, and it went too far. She never meant to die. None of us expected it and it threw us all into turmoil, i can't think of much that would ever hurt that much again.

But it was her life, and if she felt it was time to go, then i think we should all respect that. We are in charge of our own destinys, nobody else, so i don't think it should be looked down upon really, because if someone feels it's the right time for them, then we should respect that i guess.

Answer 8

Absolutely fantastic question, and I really don't know to be honest, sorry. A star for you though.

Answer 9

It's selfish because they should be thinking of how their death will hurt people who love them. And there is no good reason to commit suicide, no one is so depressed that they can't be helped.

Answer 10

IN ADVANCE: Sorry for this very long answer but I do think it's something worth discussing. Also one of my links at the end will not properly post since I am level 1.... Please take the time to read my answer.



First off, I don't think that suicide is considered wrong or selfish but rather sad. There are many reasons as to why other people would think that suicide is selfish but I do not agree with them. These all come back down to religion. It's all about your body being a gift from God and it being a temple and when you do something to harm it, it's wrong or selfish. This is also why many religous people are against tattoos and piercings.I'm not going to go any further into religion in my answer though. It is also socially.. taboo and honestly not talked about as much as it should! When Megan Meiers (Sp?) died - I think that's when people started realising that this IS something that today's teens need help with. OBVIOUSLY, there is not enough support to tell these young people that there is another way out and they are special and worth something.



What I am going to say is that suicide affects more people than just the victim. Friends, family, neighbours - everyone, all feel the after effects that it brings. Even if you think that they don't care.People treasure you. Think about the reasons of why you are a nice person. There is someone out there that loves you for you. If you are religious, look for strength in God, your church, schoolmates... Whoever! Just get help if you truly are feeling like this. Sometimes people's actions don't truly reflect how they feel and they get mixed up. Life is so complicated now that even the most people don't get to enjoy life's simple pleasures which unfortunately, sometimes, includes quality time with family and friends. After a loved one commits suicide or attempts it even, they begin to blame themselves and go down a twisting spiral of emotions. Some common responses of a family member could be:



- Remorse over lost opportunities

- Anger at the person who took their own life

- Guilt over failed responsibilities, real or imagined

- Isolation caused by a sense of self-imposed shame

- Loneliness when others keep their distance

- Anger toward those perceived to have contributed to the suicide

- Awkwardness when others don’t know how to respond

- Shock associated with facing the traumatic and sometimes unexpected nature of death

- Difficulty accepting that the death was by suicide

- Fear that powerful grief reactions may not be normal

- Difficulty making sense of the suicide



That's the only reason I would ever believe suicide to be considered wrong.... I don't even like saying that because obviously people who attempt or think about suicide have issues going on in their life and they feel like that's the only way out. The guilt that a family would feel would be overwhelming almost to the point where I wouldn't be able to bare it. Regretting not getting them help, seeing the warning signs etc.



It's very sad that people live every day hoping it's their last when in reality, life is so short and it should be enjoyed for the little things. Life wasn't meant here for punishment and although you might be in a bad situation now, things always get better. I don't know if you are experiencing these issues and personal demons but there is help in a lot of places. Find your inspiration in your interests... music, art, dance. Whatever you do.



All in all, I think this quote sums it up: The death of someone you care for is always a painful event, but the grief felt by family members and friends can be deeper when the cause of death is suicide.



I apologize for this novel but please, please, please, I beg of you to read this: http://www.metanoia.org/suicide/ It only takes 5 minutes and it will help. I promise, things will get better.



I also got some of my information from this website: http://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/bhcv2/bhcarticles.nsf/pages/Suicide_family_and_friends where it states that 1 in 4 people in Australia know someone who has committed suicide.



Suicide is devastating and deeply sad so please do not live your life with self hatred and sadness but learn from the experiences that haunt you and count your blessings for who and what you have today.

Answer 11

Good question, Livvy. Well, there are two ways to look at this. Morally, you're taking a life, which is considered wrong- whether it's your own or not. Taking your life will end up hurting somebody, friends, family, etc. So that's where the selfish part comes from.



You can also look at it from a religious point of view. Suicide is considered wrong according to the Bible, and some people say you'll go to hell if you commit suicide because you were disobeying God's plan for you. Personally, I don't believe that. God is loving and accepting and wouldn't send someone to hell because they were unhappy.



Another thing to consider is that with so many people struggling to live, spending thousands of dollars just for a chance to spend one last day on this Earth. And then someone kills themselves when they still had a lot of life left. Their situation that lead them to suicide could and probably would have gotten better.



And then people wonder what could have been. Would the person that committed suicide found a cure for cancer? Had children? And that leads to a series of what-ifs.



I really don't know if this made any sense, but that's just what I've found. I tried to look at it from a few different view points.



You get a star now! Most thought-provoking question of the day :)

Answer 12

It a good point you've brought up. I believe that if someone wants to commit suicide then people shouldn't be too overbearing and treat them like a loony for doing so however if someone I cared about said they wanted to commit suicide, I'd try and support them and be there for them when they needed. Yes, I'd try and change their mind but I wouldn't go to the point of keeping them with me 24/7 to make sure they stay alive. The worst thing is when they tell you and you know about it and you don't say anything, they eventually go ahead and you get into trouble for not preventing their death. The person may not want help so you're pretty stuck.

I don't think its that selfish to be honest. If its over a silly reason (eg. they didn't get their own way or a stroppy teen trying to blackmail their parents) then I agree, they are selfish and stupid but if the person is severely depressed or has been through something traumatic who are we to tell them otherwise?

Answer 13

You've obviously never known anyone who committed suicide.

You have no idea how it feels when someone close to you takes their own life.



Why is it selfish? Because it literally destroys everyone who loves and knew the person. It leaves them wondering what they could have done to prevent it. It leaves them feeling guilty and miserable because they never got a chance to say goodbye. The person who kills himself doesn't have to deal with life anymore, but they cause so much pain to the people they love who have to sit around and wonder why.



My friend hung himself 6 days ago. He was only 17 years old. He was the most amazing, outgoing, energetic, loving person in the world. He was always the life of everything, the last person you'd expect to do something like this. He seemed perfectly happy and was acting like himself the afternoon before he killed himself. He was getting ready to enter a skateboarding competition, he was getting back together with his girlfriend--he didn't seem to have any reason to hang himself. He didn't leave a note.

Now what's left behind? His friends, his family, the 400 people who were at his funeral, all wondering why he did it and what we could have done to stop it. It will haunt all of us for the rest of our lives.



I loved, and still do love, him so much. Everyone-his family, friends, everyone who knew him- loves him, and he loved us, too. But he decided to kill himself--and now he doesn't have to deal with whatever pain he had; and we all have to stay here--feeling more pain than you can possibly imagine--and wonder why he did it, if we did something wrong, if we could have done something to stop him. We feel guilty because we didn't say goodbye, we didn't get a last hug or one last time to say that we love him. And as if the wondering and guilt isn't bad enough, the absolute worst thing is..we have to live without him. We never get to see him, hear his voice, or hug him again. We'll miss him for the rest of our lives.



This is why suicide is one of the most selfish, horrible, and painful things that anyone can ever do, though I doubt you'll ever understand how selfish it actually is unless, god forbid, someone close to you kills himself. I pray to god that you never have to feel the pain that I've felt in the last week.



I hope this helps you understand why it's considered selfish and wrong.

Answer 14

The reason why i think its selfish is because more than likely they have people in this world that care for them anywhere from mom,dad, grandma, siblings or friends.



Why do that to your loved ones? And make them stuck wondering why? Asking themselves what did i do that they had to end their life?

Suicide is a selfish selfish thing. I mean i know in some circumstances people don't understand (like kids who commit suicide because of bullying in school, etc) but thats why its everyones job to treat everyone with respect and show them life is worth living for.



Life is such a precious thing, i get so sad thinking some day i won't be here. In the meantime i'm living it up!! I love being here. :-)

Answer 15

People believe suicide is wrong because of the Catholic belief that God and God only can take a life away and give life as well. People believe suicide is selfish because lots of people back on Earth end up getting hurt but I can agree with you that its their life. Suicide according to the Catholic bible is a sin because as I said before Catholic people believe that God and God only can give and take life from a human being at will not the person themselves.

Answer 16

I just lost my aunt who was like a second mom and in the past I did attempt suicide and it IS selfish. It's selfish you are so effing full of your "issues" you would cause people the amount of pain that death brings. It hurts beyond words when someone dies and the truth is you are a coward to inflict such pain in people because you were too stupid to tough it out. Everyone's life sucks, everyone's life has downpours and now I realize how selfish it was I even tried it. I can't believe i was willing to inflict such pain in people because my life sucked constantly for five years and yes now it does have it's downs but I am here to help others and not just for myself.

Answer 17

Wow.. what Bella said was the dumbest thing ever.. "It's her life and if she felt it was time to go, then we should all respect that".

God gave you life.. he put you on this world.. you didn't give yourself life..He gave you life so he's the only one that can take it back away.



I've felt suicidal too.. but then I think about my parents and sister and decided not to.



And that's why it's selfish..How would you feel if your mom killed herself? or dad or I don't know.. someone you love. You'll be sad and the first thing you'd think is that they didn't care about you or how you'd feel. That's being selfish.



Edit: The people that are saying that "It's their life they can do whatever they want with it" or "It's not selfish" are probably people that never had anyone they really care about commit suicide. That's why they don't know how it is like to lose someone you love.

Answer 18

People consider it selfish.

Someone will always love you,and you can get help.

Answer 19

People say it's selfish for a couple different reasons:



They are only thinking of their needs when they kill themselves. They don't consider the grieving family and friends they leave behind.



I have a perfect example of another reason. Last month, a little girl in my town got hit by a bus, and she died. The next week, a boy committed suicide. People were saying that he was selfish because that girl wanted to live, and he just had no problem ending his life.



Life is a precious gift from God. You should honor it until it's your time to go.

Answer 20

Suicide is telling God "You can't fire me, I QUIT". No I don't consider suicide wrong. I had a family member commit suicide because he had cancer and was in constant terrible pain. Some family members didn't want him to die, but I think they were the selfish ones. His pain was so great and they could do nothing to relieve it, but they wanted him live which meant living in agony. How can you say you love someone and choose for that person to live in severe pain??? Isn't love wanting to best for that person, even if it hurts you too? We extend courtesy to animals, why not to fellow humans. If a person is in a great amount of mental agony, I don't think suicide is wrong either. Do I consider suicide selfish, a little yes (I know, contradiction here, but it's a matter of degrees. Keeping someone in pain alive is much more selfish then the person who wants to die to escape the pain). When someone dies, there will always be those who are left behind that feel the loss. It's hard enough when it happens naturally, it's horrible when a life is ended by force, but it's maddening and guilt ridden when it's done by the the person's own hand. It's selfish because the people who are left behind have to pick up the pieces. At least that's how I feel. Also, I think suicide should only be used in extreme cases. It saddens me when I hear someone killing themselves because they are bullied or their relationship ended. Sometimes life is hard, but usually time can make the pain go away. If they only waited...

Answer 21

Livvy.





WHAT THE HELL?!



People don't commit suicide because they have a life to live, and after that's gone... it's gone, and you won't ever ever ever get it back. EVER. And things can get better in life, if you really want them to. Imagine one day you get onto msn and you receive a mesage of me saying ''Bye Livvy, i'm taking my life tonight, you'll never see me again'' how would you feel?



It IS selfish commiting suicide because there are thousands of people who actually WANT to live who are dying in Hospitals... Would you reall want to take your life for own selfish reasons? Because you ''can't handle it'' or because you've simply ''had enough''?



Don't be silly! You have a great life, and people CARE about you.



Don't you even DARE consider doing ANYTHING like that or i'll come and kill you MYSELF (Well, not really, i'd smother you in niceness)



*Glares*







;]

Answer 22

that is a good point but... everyone who knows/likes/loves that person with be shattered that they killed themselves, and they might kill themselves and on and on! Then the world will be suicidal and awful

Answer 23

It's a religious thing.. Jesus died for us, and wants us to do everything we can to stay alive because life is a blessing. We shouldn't take advantage of life. Basically if we take advantage of our lives it's kinda like taking advantage of him..

Answer 24

I have to agree with Ally. The people with terminal illnesses want to live. Or most of them do at least. And for someone to take their own life just because they think they have it rough. Its selfish. They can live, but they chose not to. I'm not a super religious person. But, life is god's most precious gifts. Not virginity. And you have to think about the people around you.

Answer 25

people say it's wrong because most consider it selfish and horrible....



i don't like when ppl commit suicide, but i can understand why some ppl would...

Answer 26

i don't see how its selfish either.

if you are truly unhappy, why should you stay miserable in order to keep people from shedding tears for a couple years.

you will eventually die, so the tears will be shed,why does it really matter when the tears are shed.

if they truly love you, they should want you to be happy, and if in some situation death would achieve that for you then they should attempt to accept it instead of being judgmental. in fact if they didn't attempt to accept it, then they are actually being selfish in wanting you to stay unhappy.

Answer 27

it's selfish because say some kid blows his brains out in the house it's not like you can continue living in the house your child killed himself in. also, imagine the trauma of the person who finds the body, lastly all the grief and years of counciling the family and friends have to go through.

Answer 28

selfish maybe cause the don't think of the other people who care for them.Since they might say oh..no one loves me.. and other people do truly love them.Even though I think suicide is caused by abuse addiction or deppertion.It's considered wrong since they take the lives away for themselves..



I don't think it's that wrong I just think they exaggerate a lot on that topic.

Answer 29

Because you're killing yourself to 'give up' or 'people just don't care'. We do all die eventually but that's not killing ourselves, it's from old age or homicide.

Answer 30

People who say "It's selfish!" have no heart.

Or at least, no experience with people with depression, bipolar disorder or other mental illnesses.

My uncle has bipolar disorder. On his bad days, he's convinced that nobody loves him, that nobody cares about him and that we'd all be better off without him.



If he killed himself (Pray that he doesn't), he'd think he was doing people a favor.

Answer 31

Point being they are only thinking of themselves. And not how them ending their life will effect their loved ones. People today tend to only think about themselves. If people would stop and care about someone else,maybe they wouldn't be so caught up in their own problems and become suicidal.

Answer 32

Because God intends you to live longer, and suicide is taking away from his plan.

Also, if you consider murder wrong, isn't suicide just murdering yourself?

Answer 33

Cause all they are caring about is themselves & their not thinking about others around them.

They have loved ones who actually cared about them but they are to selfish to realize that.

Answer 34

I think it's selfish because it affects other people. Plus there are people who are terminally ill, and want to live but can't. It's not fair that you have the ability to live, but choose not to.

Answer 35

Because it's selfish.

It doesn't matter how YOU feel other people around you want you.

You could grow up to invent something or cure cancer. Imagine that.

If i killed myself it's selfish because i wanna be a surgeon one day. Maybe save someones life. More than once. It's really a complicated web.



EDIT:

also the future children you could have,

took that away.

Answer 36
