Legalize Suicide

Name: Anonymous 2011-11-27 21:29

I want the right to kill myself. There shouldn't even be a discussion about it. I want the right to decide what happens to my own body in this most basic forms of self-control. Friends and family should respect that, and if they don't give me that right, and think that I should endure all sorts of suffering just for their selfish pleasures, then they can piss off. I am of sound mind, and I have reasons to live, but that right should be up to me. If I breathe should be my decision. If my organs work should be my decision. My entire body is not the property of everyone who happens to know me. If they really want me around so much that they would miss me if I die, then they should work for it. I am not their property, and they are not my friends if they think that they can blame me in any way for determining my own fate.

I don't know where to stand on suicide from a purely legal standpoint.  I understand why terminally ill people, sick elderly people, and people with painful and debilitating illnesses would want to commit suicide and think that they ought to be allowed to do it.  If someone lacks the above mentioned problems though, I think it is a terrible thing for them to do because of how much it hurts those around them.  The suicidal person is the one being selfish.  And what about people that have dependents like children or a spouse?  That is terribly irresponsible.  In my mind these are moral arguments as opposed to legal ones.
