> a physically healthy person

I'm no psychologist, but would anyone who -wants- to self-terminate be considered a "healthy person"? Legitimate question -- I can't imagine someone who is in good health, has good relationships, and has a good possible "life trajectory" to want to self-terminate.

I disagree that we "allow this", because it's almost impossible to stop it completely (by force & legislation, ignoring the effects of education & awareness).

It is illegal to do it to yourself (for insurance reasons, I believe), and it's illegal to assist someone else.

Again, I have no background knowledge here. Would be interesting to see some different perspectives.
