Suicide, much like death sentence, is something I haven't really formed an opinion about.
I was involved in some accident much like Hrae's, except it probably wasn't as gory. A train compartment caught fire, and one of the people had pulled the emergency chain. I was made to (not exactly "made to" but after I volunteered, I was asked to) get the little children out of the compartment. A few of them had some really horrible burns. Thankfully nobody died though.
Now on to suicide.
It's your toy. Nobody blames you if you break it.
It's your football, nobody cares if you pop it.
So why is it not my life, and my choice if I wish to end it?
But, then again, football's are re-buyable, toys are mendable. Some could argue that life is re-makeable, but that just doesn't give the same person back to you. Every person is a separate mind unto themselves.
And therefore, I cannot make my mind up on whether suicide should be punishable or not.
