Why don't we just let people do what they want in life?

Society has laws against people killing people.  Why is it then suddenly appropriate for someone to kill a human, when that human is themselves?  You won't see me arguing full-blown dogmatically as an absolute against a case of someone ending up killing themselves, but I will argue that it is more important for society to work to motivate and enable people to live, and work to give people hope.  To then, allow suicide to creep in for any reason, and say, "Well that is ok..." rather than come up ways to instill hope, is a cheap copout in a set of values that comes from the inability to meet essential needs on the part of a person.  It is a resignation that YOU SUCK, and then try to justify it by claiming, "People have a right to choose..."  In short, they choose to pick something that works against a core value of humanity, that being to survive and prosper.  Where in suicide is suriving and prospering?

Those who advocate for suicide, should also admit they are pathetically weak in the face of reality and are getting pwned by things they can't handle.

Because people have a right to do what they want with their own bodies, as long as the ydon't harm others?
