You cant speak for everyone though. While I completely agree with you, to inflict your views on others is rotten. People should be allowed do what they want with their own lives and their own bodies. If they want to kill themselves, let them.
To suggest it should always be a court matter is pathetic too. Life is not an issue of legal politics.

giving an oppinion always does inflict a view on someone else, thats the defintion of an oppinion, if it didnt I suppose an oppinion would count for nothing.
To say its rotten is extremely hurtful, and I thought you were better than that.
Interstingly you did'nt find anything wrong factually about the statement, that being dead is indeed no good to anyone.
Oh and if we took your views littrally we have no accountabillity at all,
"people should be allowed to do what they like with there own bodies"
So, people can get drunk and go home and abuse family members?
Kill people whilst under the influence of narcotics?
People can smoke where the hell they like too?
People can jump in front of trains, cars off buildings causing mayhem and possible death to others in this irresponsible and incredibly selfish way of life.
People will alway have the opportunity if not the right to committ suicide, I just don't think it does anyone any good trying to legalise it, that dos'nt mean to say I could'nt or would'nt sympathise with someone who would.
Legalising it by the terms Tom has set out seems ideal, but will always leave the door open someone being "murdered" using this as a cover, and just one case is one to many.
Either way the fact we should be able to do anything with our own bodies is a ridiculously absurd as it it incredibly selfish and truly rotten.

Okay, let me expand on the obvious into the realm of the even more obvious, seeing as your taking my statement the completely wrong way and putting as negative a spin on it as you possibly can [at this point if I were trying to patronise and discredit you as a person for your views I would say ''I thought you were better than that'' but im just not like that].
Here is what I put foward : People can do what they want with their own bodies as long as thier actions are not harming or interfereing anybody else.
I think it is up to a person to do what they want with themselves as long as their not infringing on the rights of others. And yes, I think to think any different
is rotten because it is a removal of basic carnal and cognitive freedoms.
The fact that I found nothing wrong with you statement? Why, because I agree with it of course. Theirs always something in life is my opinion too. Im not naive or stupid enough to think however that everybody is in my position. So on a principal do I disagree with people killing themselves? Hell yes. But are my going to stop them? Hell no.
