This semester I am taking the course Psychology of Death and Dying. I have found this course to be very interesting and it has also challenged me to evaluate my own thoughts, feelings, beliefs and knowledge of death and the process of dying. I would highly suggest taking this course if you're looking for a really good Distance Ed (although, if you have lost a loved one recently, I suggest waiting a little bit -- it has it's difficult moments).
This week my group has a discussion. The topic is:
Is it normal to desire death? Are people who seek death, by definition mentally ill or unstable? Should society intervene?
I have already posted once with my own reaction and response, as well as mentioning the supporting course material. But I have four more posts to do this week on the topic and I think it would be beneficial to include the thoughts of others. So, I am curious to see if anyone has any thoughts on this. I have no idea if people even read this blog, but if you do... do you believe desiring death is normal and why?
