If I wanted to kill myself I have that right; Or do I? Suicide is the intentional killing of oneself. Today in our society, people are placed upon death row for killing others. Shouldn't committing suicide be illegal? These people are not just causing harm upon themselves, they are affecting our community and society. It is true that suicide is a choice, but it is considered wrongdoing when placing harm on anybody; including their own bodies.
Suicide affects all races and cultures. It should be illegal because it is not only an individual issue. Many people feel that it is their body and they have the right to do whatever to it. This is a very selfish argument. They are not realizing that they are affecting their family, friends, and society. Committing suicide is not only an individual issue, it is felt by everyone. There are approximately 750,000 suicide attempts each year.
The issue of suicide is very controversial. The fact of the matter is that if a person the right to kill themselves, then they have the right to kill anybody for no reason at all. Killing is Killing whether it is external or internal. No one has the right to take their own or another persons life. Therefore suicide should be illegal because it is a forbidden act.
