There is absolutely no sane reason to even consider the idea that a person's life belongs to anyone else, and is not theirs alone to do with as they wish, including end it with or without the willing help of others. Without oogy-boogy big sky fella bilong all life claptrap, suicide would be an outpatient service no more controversial to society at large than dispensing aspirin.
