Legalize Suicide

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.

So its selfish for a child to want their parent around? And the child should be expected to understand why the parent wants to end their life and realize that they are selfish for wanting their parent to be there?  What if they're financially dependent on the suicidal person? Now that person is stealing from their dependents in a way. Most acts that don't harm other people are not considered crimes, while most acts that do harm other people are crimes.  Suicide does harm other people. It harms them emotionally and possibly financially. Suicide may not always be wrong, but a person who wishes to commit suicide should think carefully about what repercussions their actions may have on those around them.
