    This show is saying, life is worth living. I assume last night's LLS was the argument against?

    In fairness Nuala O'Faoláin said something similar about her apartment in NY and how she would miss it...

    Some people get 80+ years. Others get a lot less. There has to be a reason. He is an inspiration to us all. That's part of it

    Ah jaysus that poor father is heartbroken.

    This was going to be a powerful interview even without the suicide issue.

    Brendan doing a very good job too.

    Why?

    Some of what he has said is very naive, this poor young man, terminally ill and has a lot to be angry about. I'm just not sure that this is the right avenue for him.

    Feel bad for him and the family but it really is such a naive opinion he has

    I'm not sure he's wise to be commenting on other people's situation.. He's working with the premise that everybody's life is worth living and they should see it as such... But a lot of people would be of the opinion that their life is NOT worth living.

    Maybe if you listen with an open mind you may think differently.

    His heart is in the right place but he is really not understanding the complexity of suicide.

    Why he's picking on suicide is beyond me. He's a little immature I suppose. Shame he's discussing suicide.

    And thats exactly why Donal and we all should talk about how wrong it is to see such a mindset normalised in this coutry.

    It's a lot more complex than that. Using the word "wrong" is something that we're trying to get away from.

    If he has convinced ONE person not to commit suicide, his life won't have been in vain

    I suppose he's looking at it from the point that he won't get to live a full life while some people are ending their lives themselves. Naïve but I can understand his point of view.
