Shouldn’t suicide be a matter of personal choice too?
The United States Constitution did not provide an individual with a fundamental right to suicide, but it does not impose criminal punishment on a person who has sought his own self-destruction. However, a person would be confined to a Mental Hospital for attempted suicide as a safety precaution.
