Why is it illegal to attempt/commit suicide? its my body. the state shouldnt own me. why are people stopped. i should be allowed to.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See doctor: The state has an interest in protecting the health of its citizens. People who attempt suicide generally have underlying psychiatric issues, e.g. depression. If the underlying issue is addressed, the person does not wish to die. Please talk to your doctor as there may be a simple treatment for your illness. Wish you a healthy, prosperous, long life!
