Attempted Suicide Should Be A Criminal Offense.

First, before anything, I would like to point out that I may have been using the wrong offense as I am confused to which is correct. I will however remeain using the word offense, spelled as such, for consistency. "Suicide is not choosing between life and death, but rather the choice of the time and manner of death."Suicide is both the choice between life and death and the choice of the time and manner of death. When one chooses suicide, they are choosing death over life, which is "the choice between life and death." Also, we can generalize premeditated murder as a whole as both "choosing between life and death [(of another human being)]," and "the choice of the time and manner of death," further proving that by these definitions that suicide is very similar to murder. Premeditated murder is the planning of a murder- the time is planned, the place is planned, everything is planned."If one has the right of life, then they also have a right to death."This is a general statement for everyone, so I may be taking it out of context as I am only quoting a single line. But, I repeat, this is a general statement for everyone."The individual should make their final farewells to their friends and family when they decide, not the illness."This statement is true for some and not true for others, though I don't see why this proves that attempted suicide should not be a criminal offense."Society can spread the message that suicide is unacceptable without criminalising the individualThe world can spread the message that suicide is bad without actually criminalising those who attempt it. In the end, you will only be punishing the people who actually fail the act. The legislation will not deter those who wish to go through with it, and the people who aren't successful (who have already decided that the world is bad enough) aren't likely to change their opinion if they would be branded a criminal and punished (even admittance to a mental institute would be considered a bad punishment)." (Sorry for quoting the whole thing, but it is all necessary for my argument.) Basically, this is true, but in order for people to feel the seriousness of a situation, it is necessary for someone to become an example. This tactic is used by people like teachers who have a rambunctious class and decides to send one to the office, thus changing the behavior of others from their fear of having the same punishment. Yes, the punishments could be detrimental, but the individual needs to feel the intensity of the action they are committing if stopped. I suppose that nothing will stop them from committing suicide when they leave the institution, but with many instances in which former criminals change their lives to avoid going back to prison, this type of punishment seems fit for a crime."The law would be impractical and would not be enforcable in any world"There are many laws that some people feel are impractical such as laws against something so simple as littering. However, there are still these laws to keep society in check and to keep it running smoothly with as little trouble as possible. The law would be hard to enforce, yes, but there are cases in which it can be enforced (i.e if someone calls the local police after experiencing someone attempt suicide). The punishments don't have to be a few months in a highly sercured prison. The punishments can be as simple as volunteer hours, anger management classes, medication, a night in jail, etc."Attempted suicide should not be an offence, as it is the individuals autonomous choice and is perfectly justifiable in certain situations"Honestly, this argument struck me the most. This further proves my point that attempted suicide is attempted murder thus attempted suicide is equivalent to attempted murder. The murderer has the choice to kill someone, and in some cases the killing is justifiable. If someone breaks into your house, you have the right to shoot them, that is justifiable. If someone kills a family member or is threatening to har you, killing them is legally justifiable. By ending your argument with this, I feel like my argument has been strengthened.
