Suicide is illegal because it is killing - even though you are taking your own life, it is killing none the less.
Yes, but the other question which lies with this is if you kill yourself what is the point of making it illegal? For examlpe, they are not going to arrest your dead body.
I totally agree. I mean what can state or government officials do to you when you are already dead?
If You intend suicide but it fails and you are still alive then u could go to jail in most countries
Suicide is not illegal in the United States. And killing is not illegal. Killing people is, and hunting without a license is, but neither of those statements makes killing, in general, illegal.
As of the early 1990's, punitive laws making suicide or attempted suicide in North America have all been expunged or removed. Suicide is not illegal.
