Not in most countries nowadays. Great Britain law used to consider suicide a 'crime' but repealed that law some 50 years ago. US law does not consider it a crime, although some States do consider attempts at suicide a criminal act but rarely prosecute, and never in case of terminal illness.

Aiding and abetting at suicide however is a crime in many countries since this covers the very sensitive field of euthanasia. Many (Western) countries now have whole sets of rules and regulations regarding this.
