suicide already is legal -> if you succeed there's no one to prosecute so the question is just absurd. One can only discuss legality of attempted suicide.
The healthcare system should not be allowed to suggest it. And it should require an independent review if you request it. That doesn't mean the system shouldn't be allowed to provide it.
Yes, and that is one of the reasons our culture has made practices like these taboo- it can give the veneer of respectability to despicable acts
And why there should be more nuance to the issue: legalizing suicide is not the same as legalizing assisted suicide.
I want to be free to die on my own terms. Conversely, I do not want the healthcare system to be allowed to even suggest it.
