People should be allowed to commit suicide

I brought up religion with the intention to point out common themes on morality. Typically most religions can agree that murder is not moral. My opponent would agree with this statement and say yes murder is not moral. Another common theme is stealing is considered immoral to which my opponent may also agree with. Yet a vast majority of religions also feel that suicide is immoral, but my opponent would not agree. To this he says religion must not intervene which I would say yes we should not base our laws off of one religion. If religion is fabricated WHICH WE ARE NOT HERE TO ARGUE than it would be logical for one to assume that in us is a common idea of what is right and wrong. Since suicide is also considered immoral in a numerous number of religions as well as civilizations it would be safe to assume that it is vastly believed to be immoral. Laws are based off of what the vast majority deems as acceptable and just, so it is logical for a nation to accept the idea that suicide is immoral. My opponent has agreed with me stating "that it is a waste of potential if there are any other options". My opponent fails to see there are always options. It seems that my opponent is trying to paint this perfect scenario in which everything aligns to create the perfect situation where the only option is suicide. Yet in this imperfect it is rare for such circumstance to arise. It would seem if there is a choice there would be an option if you have no choice than there is not an option. And with suicide I would think my opponent would agree that there is a choice and therefore always an option. So if my opponent agrees with me that it is a waste of potential if there are any other options and my opponent can agree that if there is a choice there is always an option than my opponent it would agree that suicide is always a waste of potential. If something is a waste of potential than clearly it is the poorer choice. So by that logic suicide is always the poorer choice. This poor choice is also irresponsible and therefore immoral. It seems that my opponent asks you as the reader to vote based on pity. I conclude this based on the repetitiveness of the perfect scenario in which the individual has the perfectly worst life one could possibly think of. Yet I ask is pity always justice? Not always. For example a serial killer is on trial we find out he had a very rough childhood and this may have lead him to killing women who looked like his mother. One with 100% pity could understand him and would not convict him because he would not be seen to deserve such punishment. For a person with 100% pity is a person that will forgive 100% of the time. THIS relates to our topic because we don't live in a society that pities 100% of the time and we should not live in a society like that. My opponent is asking you to legalize suicide on the sole argument of pity and ignores responsibility. However I would find a society in which one is held responsible for their actions. My opponent agrees with me stating that "therapy does sometimes take a long time." My opponent then states that you have to see progress in a year for it to work. My opponent doesn't seem to understand that there are various factors that come into play in therapy. My opponent also seems to not have the same concept of progress as me. This is because every day you don't kill yourself seems to be progressive. A person living to go to therapy another day is better than a person committing suicide because at least they have a reason to live. A person going to therapy obviously is searching for a reason to live and that my friend is hope. How can you say that is not progressive? Individuals in therapy are life infants some crawl and barely move very far and some learn how to walk and go great distances. My opponent continues to make the statement "others will recover much more quickly than the suicide victim." I feel it is my right to ask where this data is coming from. Is there a survey that some spirit summoned has conducted to ask those individuals who committed suicide if they are overall satisfied with the choice they made? If the individual commits suicide they are gone into the great unknown leaving people behind to pick up the mess they have made. My opponent doesn't seem to think those who are responsible for the mess created by the suicidal individual should have a say. My opponent states that the amount of suffering one could take depends on the person which I completely agree with. Some people struggle to get over their suffering and that is what therapy is for and group therapy to help those not strong enough to overcome the obstacles in life. My opponent states "The person who isn't able to end their own suffering shouldn't have to live with that, and therefore, they have the right to commit suicide." My opponent also states "suicide is morally correct in the most extreme of situations as it can help people get rid of personal pain and suffering when there is no alternative solution." I bring this up because one statement is very broad and the other is very specific. In one statement anyone who suffers has the right while in the other only extreme situations. Who are we to determine how extreme someone's suffering is? Do you get out a chart and say oh you suffer on a 99% scale of suffering according to this. Or do you do you leave it open to anyone (example sues boyfriend is going out with her best friend she is done living now let's get out the needle). Laws don't work very well if people are exempt from them there for either everyone should be allowed or no one. Since my opponent has devised this perfect situation which very few can abide by it would be logical not to legalize it. My opponent last paragraph statement seems to suggest that people who look out for their own interests and ignore the impact on other is a responsible act. Suicide is an indirect harm to others so is drinking and driving. People who drink and drive don't think oh I am going to kill a mother and her four kids today. Yet I believe they should be held accountable for their actions if they drink and drive even if they don't hurt anybody in the process. Just like someone attempting to commit suicide should be treated and held accountable for their irresponsible actions. We can't hold people accountable if they are dead for the people they hurt. It would be irresponsible for us to legalize such a thing. I have engaged my opponent not because I strongly oppose his idea but as a learning experience to understand the greater debate on whether suicide should be legal or not. My opponent has told me that suicide is moral based on the fact that it is one's life and they can do as they please with. I simply cannot take your word for it I require a little more than such a simple statement. I have explained the irresponsibleness of the action in hopes for a rebuttal to help me understand the other side.
