[QUOTE]Originally posted by bdgee: [QB] I think you are wrong about suicide being illegal in the U.S. I think there is no Federal lw on the subject and only a few states have considered the possibility of making suicide a crime. I didn't answer your question, but presented the possibility that it doesn't need to be considered and probably shouldn't. It is always possible to pose questions like. "Should suicide be illegal?", but that doesn't mean they need an answer. How about the question, "Should it be against the law to have sexual relations with a person of a different race?" Isn't that a request to dictate social and racial norms by using the law? All too often, people want the law to make criminal anything they disapproave of and they disapprove because of religion or habit or whatever and not because it would be a benifit to the Country or the society. Who would benifit from a law making suicide illegal? Anyway, exactly what would be the punishment you would met out to the perpetrators who break your law against suicide? There is an old "rule" about criminal statutes that usually holds true. It isn't the statute that declares a thing an offense that matters, it is the description in the statutes that lays out the punishments for the offense that is the actual instrument of law. Make it a crime to commit suicide and, even with detailed descriptions for the punishment, there is no one to punish. It's like f-rting in the wind or p-ssing in the ocean......it doesn't amount to much. [/QB][/QUOTE]
