Man fighting for euthanasia gets NO as an answer.

The happiest people I have ever met had only the most basic things humans need: food, water, shelter, a chance for the future, and love.

You can't say that westerners have no right to be unhappy unless you acknowledge a direct connection between material wealth (I certainly don't). While we enjoy great material wealth, many westerners face bankrupcies of other kinds. Divorce rates, neglect of children, cutthroat capitalism, emphasis on material need, dwindling spirituality (sorry woeler but it is relevant!). Is it shocking that children find themselves struggling in situations like these? Even above western luxury, people need basic things like love and morality.

Just thoughts. Obviously I'm not comparing them to destitute children, or condoning suicide over missing a one direction concert, but if we acknowledge that suicidal children are sometimes a product of our society, shouldn't we ask ourselves why?

Someone has to teache all those kids from a VERY young age that life is anything except fair, instead of their parents treating them like a baby and keeping them ignorant on how things really are.
