Jim Loy I heard that the law says that it is illegal to commit suicide. I always wondered what the penalty was. I suppose that they are just trying to prevent suicide attempts. A friend of mine attempted suicide. Such an experience could well drive someone to suicide.
Attempted suicide can be the mistake of a lifetime.
Another friend of mine says that everyone has the right to commit suicide, apparently one of those rights that the Constitution neglects to mention. And, as I think about that, I find that I have to agree. I have the right to destroy my own life, to destroy my health, to destroy my relationships with others, to destroy my property. I even have a right to hurt others, within limits, something that suicide does. Anyway, regardless of whether people have a right to commit suicide, it seems like such a pathetic waste.
