Why isn't suicide legal?
Don't humans have a right to choose whether this life is for them or not. Why keep them alive only for them to become depressed and start hurting others who actually want to live?

Anyone have good reasons?

Because some people who don't succeed at it end up in psychiatric places and are forced to stay alive. This forcing people to live their miserable lives makes no sense to me.

No one has to kill them, they can easily give them a "death pill" that the person can choose to swallow or not.

Re: Why isn't suicide legal?
We deem those who are suicidal as sick and not rational. Believing that they are such; the law isn't going to go and just say "I don't believe you are thinking clearly and you need help, but hey whatever go ahead and kill yourself anyway."

Instead, they make laws to make suicide and assisted suicide illegal. The problem or point of discussion comes down to those that are terminally ill and in severe pain. In these cases, society considers allowing laws for suicide\assisted suicide.

But, this is where the two areas of society clash. The same way abortion, gay marriage, and other proponents and opponents clash.

Beyond that, there is fear that a loop-hole would be created to allow for suicide\murder in places where it wasn't actually allowed by the law.

So, it's just flat-bar illegal.

Suicide makes things harder for you as a re-incarnating soul. All the challenges you were supposed to face and work through in this lifetime, will get added to the next, plus the challenges for that lifetime.

Idk if its illegal, never heard of anyone getting arrested for trying to kill themselves and idk about there being a law against it. Strongly discouraged, maybe and maybe there are some people that will force you to live.

"Suicide ceased to be a criminal offence with the passing of the Suicide Act 1961; the same Act made it an offence to assist in a suicide."

Why would some one about to commit suicide be concerned with whether or not it is legal?

I think you mean "Assisted Suicide"
