Why is suicide illegal?

If someone doesn't want to live anymore they should be able to make it happen. If assisted suicide was legal and there was a clinic nearby I'd be heading over there right now.

Many things are illegal - Thing is society comes together and tries to vote on what seems to be acceptable.

Death is a very taboo subject in some cultures and not everyone would condone suicide. In some instances it can be seen how deeply a person is suffering of conditions that are deteriorating their life so death seems like the answer and in other cases well... some people suffer of depression and there may be a way of helping them without ending it all.

I have no clue on what you are going through and in no way am I judging.
At one point in my life I had suicidal thoughts but honestly the pain of life has helped me see and appreciate the small things that bring joy. Yes there will be difficult days but out of those gloomy of situations there may be a silverlining that gave hope to it all.
