If you look from the victims point of view definetely suicide is not a crime. Any person takes this step only when he/she feels there is nothing more to life. A crime can be defined as something which affects the life of others directly like murder, robbery etc. and it is done intentionally to hurt others and for the benefit of self by putting others in trouble. But it is also true that we must face the life with all possible guts and courage and dont get too weak to decide on the end. If the situation is really helpless where absolutely there is no ray of hope then in that condition suicide doesnot become a crime.

in Canada suicide in not a crime but attempted suicide is however people don't get charged with it instead they are taken to the hosp.
encouraging suicide is a crime and a person would be charged
help a person to commit suicide is a crime and charges would be laid
suicide is a sin . suicide is an act that the law must have the means to stop. if calling it a crime is needed to do that OK
but it doesn't matter so long as it is stopped

suicide is a crime because it robs the government of money which could be sucked out of the victim at regular intervals.
you see, parasites know that you must keep the host alive.
i'm sure everyone feels the leeching effect when they get their paycheck. it is this system that keeps the unnatural order running.
so, when a viable option like suicide is introduced into the equation, it can greatly upset the groups which can lose the most from this option. - enter...the law.
contrary to what you are forced to believe, laws are not made to protect us but to protect the government from us.
laws keep us controlled and in firm place for our job as hosts to the ever increasing thirst of government spending.
my advice to you is either break this law or not talk of it because I hear there is a new law that says if you even ask questions about suicide...well...then you have broken the LAW.

According to me it is the statement of a hopeless person. It is the only way for some people to speak out because of oppression. The crime is living through an attempted suicide.

Suicide is not a crime. You're already dead. Attempting suicide is a crime. I don't think it should be a crime. People are that desperate then they should be helped mentally. I can see how they decide it is a crime. You take a life. Then again I thought we were in control of our own lives. Kind of a double standard I guess. Just like you can refuse meds in a hospital but if you do they take it to court and you have to take them anyway. Who's really in control?

Crime or no crime! FEAR GOD! The one who attempts suicide is a coward, he/shows that people and situations can bog him down! Hey! trials are meant for this life, they wont be in the other life! Those who have faced tough days come out feeling the thrill of having gone through it and succeeded. It is an experience that cannot be compared to anything else! Even a job raise, promotion, a good news etc!
I have personally faced so many strange and weird situations in life and every time when the odds were compeletely out of control and I was loosing it! I stopped and told myself that there is gonna be an end to this, I'll just hang on!
WHAT'S WITH YOU! Discuss your problem with me if you want, you can look up my profile and reply. Borrow some of my enthusiasm for life, but dont give up! Even as I write to you, I dont have a penny in my Bank Account, but I am not concerned. I dont know how I will face tomorrow with so many things yet to come. I am expecting my second child! Yet I am happy, because He who loves you enough, will send a saviour just in time! JUST HANG ON!

It is easier said than done that one should never resort to the extreme step to end ones own life. There are times when one might feel very helpless and may like to end the life. The society need to give a soothing touch to such people. It is only in a callous society full of selfish people that no body care for the poor and the downtrodden who are prone such extreme measures. No body stops from committing suicide simply because it is a crime. A person who resorts to this measure cares a foot for the law which forbids it, for he is intent on escaping the rigours of life and law, once and for all. Law catches up with him, only when he is saved from his attempt. He is no Mamata to escape from the clutches of law.

suicide is a crime against oneself. The law cannot do much. If a person commits suicide, he is dead and the law cannot touch him. People are driven to suicide and sometimes do it on the spur of the moment. They are overwhelmed by the stresses and strains they are subject to. A good counselling can do wonders and stop a person from committing suicide.

I think suicide should be a personal choice. The government shouldn't have the right to make it a crime. If one actually does commit suicide the crime part of it is moot...can't prosecute the dead.

according to me it is just sad, the thought that it is a crime is pointless, if someone is suicidal anyway, going away for attempting suicide, is not exactly going to help them. I do not agree with Suicide, but by the time people get that dar they can see no other option, no stable person wakes up one day and thinks 'I ahve had enough, lets haul ***' I think that fact that it is criminal is pretty useless
