I truly hope you're a law student and this Q is rhetorical.

Personally I think a person does have the right to commit suicide
though British law states that it is a crime to commit suicide (not exactly deterring I must admit as you wouldn't be able to attend court if you succeeded)
I do know from experience that it is the ones left behind, and there always are whether there are parents, children, loved oned and friends, that are left to deal with everything. Some say a cowards way out but it does take a brave person to actually go through with it.
Then there is ending ones life due to medical situations, again I do believe in euthanasia i.e I could not watch my daughter go on, if before she became ill she had stated that if she couldnt do it herself, and she knew nothing but pain and couldnt communicate and asked me to end her misery I would do as I love my daughter more than life itself.

I don't care if it's illegally or not they shouldn't do it. They can't come back and their spirts roam the world and their soul go to Hell. The only one who should take lives is the one who created us. Why would anyone want to take their own life? It doesn't solve their problems and their loved ones are left behind to moan for them and miss them. I think those who even think about it need serouis help. I know someone well I knew him but I wasn't friends with him who killed himself because he got in a fight with his girlfriend and shot himself at his truck. I felt bad for his parents and I just don't understand why people would do such a thing. Killing yourself won't solve anything. People who stop ones who try to just care and I think there should be more out there like that.

I think in many countries it is illegal to commit suicide. This is because mainly for ethical reasons and also not all attempts are successful so if they survive the impact will be inflicted on the community/country. Eg. medical care, the person's psychological well being, friends & families.................

yesterday someone posted a question on why Christians seem to complain about everything and how non-believers seem more happier than we are...my answer was that it was because we seek Gods help with our issued and because we know there is hope in him.
Gods word says that he will not give us mor than what we can handle, and suicide is one thing that has a way out it is also one of the worst and more selfish things you can do to yourself and to the ones who love you.
Sweetheart if your contemplating suicide please seek help from your church or someone qualified to speak to you.
DON'T DO SOMETHING STUPID...

Because nobody wants to clean your brains off the wall.
Are you suicidal? If not, what the hell do you care? Anyone who commits suicide is a loser and a quitter. Most of them are junkies and dopeheads anyway. Just because they have bad days, they think the sky is falling and they're doomed.

I think if a person wants to check out early it's their choice.
I think if a person tries to save you, it's their responsibilty, because if you let it known "I'm going to kill myself" well that is actually a cry for help.
