Idk, better to have your agency than be stuck in a box. The criminalization of suicide is fucking stupid.

I agree suicide should be legal with a doctor.  But no, people shouldn't be allowed to splat themselves and traumatized everyone who sees it. 

The hazmat people that have to scrape someone's remains off the road etc... IDK maybe they don't mind cuz they get paid but there are externalities to not wearing a seat belt and suicide in public spaces so you get my point
