I’m genuinely curious, why do you not consider suicide a right? I’m not attacking you, I’m truly interested in hearing the pov for that argument from a non-fundie like you.
As for me, I consider suicide a right because it’s MY life and MY body to do with as I please. Including ending it for any reason. To me forbidding suicide is the same as forbidding abortion, perhaps even worse so. However, that does not mean that the decision to commit suicide should ever be made lightly. Anyone should first look for professional help and make damned sure that it’s what they TRULY want/need before going through with it.
And just to be clear, I consider suicide a right for the aformentioned reasons, sure, but I frankly don’t think that it’s a right that should ever be exercised in a healthy society. It shouldn’t be shameful or stigmatized, but we should do our hardest to make sure nobody ever gets to that point.
