My brother-in-law on my wife's side commited suicide a week ago. And though I feel that was soley within his rights to end his existence, most of the family is having a very hard time dealing with this experience currently. Especially his wife (although they were in the process of seperating because she had another) and his son (9 years old). I can understand the wife and son having problems coping - I think it is natural for a child to have problems coping with loosing a parent. The wife (sister of my wife) is another thing, and that doesn't need to be discussed here. I have never understood the logic behind not legally allowing Suicide or Euthanasia. I mean, if someone wants to do it, they are going to do it - it is kind of difficult to stop them. Only someone who is physically incapable of doing so is reliant on outside help. I just do not see why they (really those left behind, to be honest) are penalized, legally, by such a thing. If we are truly in control of ourselves and have rights over our bodies, then the right to end our existence should be one of them! As I see it, it is yet another case of the Religious forcing their beliefs on others, wrapped up in a legal binding.
