Comment Re:Suicide is illegal because.... (Score 1) 571
You'd be surprised at what threads people will cling to in depression. Making it illegal most certainly can be that one thread that keeps someone from killing himself.
The simple fact is, suicide was made illegal in the United States because, at that time, the nation and society valued all human life, even that so depressed as to want to end itself.
Those days are rapidly fading away. Now we kill humans in the womb because they inconvenience the mother. We kill them because they may not be 'perfect' (Downs Syndrome) we kill them because they're the wrong sex. We encourage the elderly to "die with dignity." We decided a life isn't worth living and so get the courts to pull a feeding tube. And all the while, the death cult chants about how we are moving toward enlightenment.
It's creepy.
