The idea that suicide is illegal is sort of funny. I mean, if a person is successful at committing suicide, then punishment is out of the question. If the attempt is unsuccessful, medical and psychological care is implemented. I have never heard of someone going to jail or being fined after a suicide attempt.
This subject sort of reminds me of criminalizing abortion. If abortion is illegal, shouldn't women who get abortions be jailed if caught? If I attempt suicide unsuccessfully, shouldn't I be punished too?
