Suicide is illegal, but, oddly commission of that crime lands you in a
mental institution because you are mentally unfit to stand trial, and,
except in the case of extraordinary extenuating circumstances, is proof of
at least temporary insanity. This is the mechanism that is used to
institutionalize people who attempt, but fail, to commit suicide. This is
also used by some insurance companies who will not pay claims for sufferings
incurred in the commission of a crime.
Extraordinary extenuating circumstances include (but are not limited to):
Extreme political protest (e.g., the autoimolation of those monks);
extraordinary pain and suffering (it's still illegal, but won't land you in
a mental institution); suicide attempts immediately prior to capital
punishment (they really don't like that because they can't execute you until
you're mentally competent to appreciate the punishment you are about to
endure and prisoners, instead, are placed on suicide watch)

Are you sure its not illegal to 'attempt' suicide? Granted
that still does not make a whole lot of sense but it gives
them a way to get back at you for the medical bills and what
not of a failed attempt I believe. So if you do want to do
it take the extra time and plan well (not that I think anyone
should do it).
