Why is suicide illegal?

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.


What is suicide watch?

"Suicide watch" is a term used to describe a situation where a person has attempted suicide or it is believed that a person may have reason to harm themselves. In some cases, the person is placed in a "safe room" which is virtually empty, with only a paper thin gown. Some suicide watches are more inhumane than others. A suicide watch usually occurs within an institutional setting such as jail, prison, hospitals, rehabilitation centers, etc... but friends or family who are aware of the signs of suicide may conduct their own brand of suicide watch in order to protect their loved one from harming themselves.


Why did Budd dwyer commit suicide?

He was facing a possible 55 years in prison for charges he maintained he was innocent of. He claimed to have been a victim of a political vendetta after he exposed corruption in the governor's office, and that in revenge he'd been framed. Dwyer wanted to draw attention to his case so people would be aware that innocent people can be railroaded by outside forces and convicted of crimes they didn't committ - and by doing it the day he did, he died in office, making his wife and children eligible to receive his state pension with death benefits, as the family had been nearly bankrupted by legal fees and attorneys, and were in the process of having to sell their home. Had he been sentenced to jail, they'd have gotten nothing. Read his statement on wikipedia for his thoughts on what he was trying to accomplish.
