Why is Suicide illegal?

You're not really abusing the right to end your own life - you're violating the right of others to live.

True.

Which means that the suicide bomber does not deserve the right to life if he cannot use it properly.
 
Is attempted suicide illegle like attempted murder, I am not very familiar with the law.
 
Guessing the government/hospitals etc don't want to be picking up dead and depressed sad bodies of people who killed themselves.
 
lol what are they going to do, jail them for eternity in the afterlife? its stupid, they cnt really make it illegal unless they are going to punish the families, wich is idiotic...

people have a right to do what they want with their life, they wanna kill themself, go ahead, they wanna live, then live
 
hmm yea its a little strange like if someone attempts suicide in a prison their put on "suicide watch". The only reason they dont want them to do it is, so they suffer and think about what they did, and eventaully die in prison.
 
its not about the people its about the country,
its that the government doesn't want shit like that in the streets or in the press
In school some of my teachers tell me, to stop rocking my chair,because i might break my head they also say i don't care what you do outside of this room but don't do it in here

Same thing as the country get it?
 
I think its only illegal because the fact that there taking there own lifes and could revolve around other people taking there own lives aswell or if a little kid sees it it wouldnt be to pleasent but its not always the best thing to do to take away your own life anyways whats the point of it??
 
dunno why it has been made illegal how are they gonna throw a dead person in jail or give them the death penalty for killing themselves. assisted suicide yeh idk its kind of a debatable issue with good points for and against.

It's illegal on only one valid basis, in my opinion. Most people who would commit suicide are mentally unbalanced, and, with treatment, thank those that saved them.

If a person is not mentally unbalanced (and no, wanting to kill yourself does not count as mentally unbalanced), then they should be able to do whatever they want with their own life.

Well put although I have to disagree somewhat with the first line.

If others decide to commit suicide based upon my private actions, that is not my responsibility.
 
Yeah.

It sort of pisses me off when I see a guy ready to jump off a building because he wants to end his life, and people try to stop him.
If he wants to do it, let him.



And, people who can't even move or talk and are just a vegetable, should just be put to sleep. I know I wouldn't want to live like that.
 
Because someone who wants to take their own life is metally unstable and must be helped.

Not necessarily. There have been perfectly sane people who killed themselves.
 
Hypothetical scenario: A nihilist decides that as there is nothing after life, this life is inherently worthless, and so decides to get death over with.
 
What I don't understand, is who do the government arrest if you commit suicide? Because if you're dead, you can't exactly go to prison..

EDIT: Sorry if it's already been explained, but I didn't see anything so...
