| I think that to make suicide legal would be to make euthanasia legal, which brings into question a whole other level of humanitarian issues altogether. I also do not think that the taking of one's life in dire times is something that should be condoned on either a social or political level, considering it affects people other than the suicide..ee(?) both emotionally, economically and sometimes physically. To legalize this would also bring into question the need for social institutions that help people dealing with depression and thoughts of suicide.
I just see no benefit at all and think that it would create more problems than it would fix. Then again, my personal views also make me bias considering that I abhor suicide and find it one of the most dispicable and selfish acts that anyone can commit...
