Suicide is a personal right based on the premise or freedom and the ideology that every person is free from they're first breath, it is not up to society, lawmakers, governments or judge's to decide what is and is not best for an individual. There is no difference between telling a person "they have to live" than there is in telling a person "they have to wear a seat-belt", on one side you have a lawyer who gets famous for legal issues with issues such as physician assisted suicide and on the other end of the spectrum you have government that gets rich by enforcing law enforcement to write someone a seat-belt ticket.
In the end it is either a form of slavery to control the will of other individuals or a money making scam to extort from the people a wealth that they do not actually posses.
The smoke screen of the slavery system put in place by governments that are controlled by a handful of so-called "elite" people who want to have total control over the lives of individuals with their monetary system and slave-like ideas have made a world of chaos for the free thinking person, it never has and never will be in the best interest of people to have their lives controlled by the powers that be. It is the right on every individual to decide whether they choose to live or die and nothing that anyone says should infringe on that basic human right of freedom.
People seem to think they have the right and power to play god, since when is one man better than the other? We all came from the same place, we all put our pants on the same way, so what gives another person the right to tell others what to do and how to do it? The only way a person should have such a right is if it is for the safety of others, but then again we walk a fine line between safety and dominance, does a person have the right to shoot several people and then kill themselves? Yes, but does it make it right to do such a thing? Absolutely not, but we cannot control what a person does or says and this is just the way it is unfortunately.
As long as man has walked the earth he has had the instinct to dominate others, he has played the game of elitism and has obviously played it well, until the entire human race can embrace the concept of individuality and freedom the world will continue to be a place of slavery to whatever powers that be, until we can learn to put aside greed the failures of men will be immanent, throughout the struggles of man history has shown us time and time again that slavery is and will be the fall of all things that could be great in this world.
