Pro Death?

In this article, there are a bunch of rhetorical questions asking whether or not laws against suicide should be made void as "paternalistic", if assisted suicide should no longer be known as a crime, but a free "right to die", if assisted suicide should no longer be held as a form of homicide, but an assist to "medical treatment", and the list goes on. This article also states that "according to Brown University professor, Jacob M. Appel, the answer to all three of these questions is an unequivocal yes."

In my opinion, I don't believe that attempted suicide and assisted suicide should no longer be held as a crime. I think that yes, people do have their own right on whether or not they want to die, but that doesn't necessarily make it right to do so. I especially stress this upon assisting a suicide because that is almost like helping in murdering someone; the only difference is that you're helping someone who wants to die, die. I don't think it's right at all, but that also could be just because of my own morals.
