Should suicide be legal?

Suicide is the act of intentionally causing one's own death. Do we own our own lives so completely that we have a right to end them? Or do we owe certain obligations to our communities and thus we should stay alive even when we may want to die? 

Arguments for:-

✅ In a free society, individuals ought to reserve the privilege to do what they need with their lives as long as they don't hurt others. Self-destruction can be what a normal grown-up decides for him/herself. No State shouldn't have title over one's life. Removing such decisions is disparaging and dehumanizing.

✅ It is in fact difficult to implement a regulation against self-destruction, so as self-destruction is basically lawful, it ought to be likewise legally legal.

✅ We don't have the foggiest idea of what occurs in the afterlife. It very well may be better after death for one who ends it all. By denying self-destruction we are forcing implied philosophical or perhaps theological convictions on others. Preclusions on self-destruction force the implied religious conviction that passing is a more regrettable result than life, and this inconvenience is ethically mistaken.

✅Debilitated individuals — particularly deranged ones — reserve no option to compel their ailment on another person by having youngsters. Those who went against self-destruction need to help selective breeding at any rate.

✅Suicides can assist with taking care of congestion issues. One self-destruction is one less individual who won't have kids.

✅ On the off chance that an individual ends it all since he/she is discouraged, he/she won't adversely impact others any longer.

✅ Notwithstanding the way that self-destruction ought to be lawful, where one can be euthanized ought to be legitimate and accessible as well. To begin with, this stops a great deal of injury of those 'casualties' that find their friends and family who have ended it all. Second, it stops messed up endeavors that add significantly more injury to the genuine person.

Arguments Against:-

❌ Beyond just the person experiencing the source of their suicidal ideation, suicide has an emotional toll. For others who are close to this person, it may cause feelings of survivor's guilt, great sadness, and trauma. Discouragement in whatever form should be viewed as a beneficial development.

❌ Suicide is typically a long-term fix for a short-term issue. Since most suicides are caused by mental illnesses, which may be managed, treated, or even cured, we should prevent individuals from committing suicide as a means of dealing with mental illnesses.

❌ In the event that a person is in debt, their suicide would result in unpaid bills, which would ultimately harm someone else's finances.

Further:-

Others are hurt by suicide. Though not necessarily physically, losing a loved one to suicide has significant emotional and societal effects. But, in objection to the previous statement, it can be said that, while that is somewhat true, morally speaking, we shouldn't put more emphasis on the welfare of a suicide victim's loved ones than on the suicide itself because no one gives their informed consent to being born, and as a result, no one has any obligation to live if it will make others feel better. Numerous other life circumstances also hurt people emotionally yet are not prohibited. For instance, a son severing all ties with their parents permanently (this can be as traumatizing as death). Or, careless parenting that causes kids to have psychological problems like intense attention-seeking behavior (which can result in school shootings) is also legal. Even if a person passes away naturally, it will still hurt other people's feelings. The cause of death may not even be important.

It is not patronizing to assist individuals in seeking treatment for severe mental illnesses. Suicide is murder, not just a "choice." And while it shouldn't be made a crime like conventional murder, the law shouldn't encourage or enable it either. Aiding adults who require assistance is not patronizing. Forcing "help" is what dehumanizes; when an adult is actively refusing psychiatric services, forced "help" is not helpful. Could this "assistance" be the harsh compassion that psychiatrist Dr. Thomas Szasz spoke about in his book "Cruel Compassion"? The choice to commit suicide is ultimately a personal one. Although suicide shouldn't be encouraged, it also shouldn't be forcibly suppressed through psychiatric restraint, force, or compulsion. Psychiatry performed on consent should continue to be legal. Non-consensual psychiatry ought to be prohibited.

The question of whether suicide should be legalized is not supported by the ambiguity of what occurs after it. There is no haste to pass away at this time since anyone who would commit suicide would pass away from some other cause nonetheless, precisely because we are unsure of what will happen next.
