People kill themselves all the time so that decision is left up to them.

It is illegal to kill one's self. People often screw it up -- with pills or guns. It is messy. There can be no ceremony to it. Your loved ones cannot be present or they could be charged with a crime.Originally Posted by Teacher Terry
That is why we need doctor assisted suicide.
As K-Von said: "God Bless You, Dr. Kevorkian!"
What about the people who love them and the effect their suicide will impose? Do they count?

Count how? To whom?
If I had cancer of the everything I hope that the 3 or 4 people who love me would drive me to Kevorkian's suicide motel, put my dog on my lap, and say: "We're sad to see you go, but happy to be here when you free yourself from the pain."
Just because they screwed it up doesn't mean they can't try again. I had a friend whose hubby tried 3x's by the time he did it right.
That is sad. Very sad.
It was very sad. She got him help over and over but after 10 years separated from him because the constant drama was bad for herself and their son. Sometimes you can't stop a train from wrecking. The devastation for his family was incredible and still scars people to this day even though it was 40 years ago.
In which states in the USA is it illegal?
I can't imagine a worse use of the court's time than to try to convict a person guilty of killing themselves.

I thought it was illegal everywhere-I could be wrong but never knew anyone to be taken to court over it. I do know that if you are present at someone's elses you can be charged with a crime.
