Tricky question.
I do not think taking your own life is an inherent God given right. But since I can't justify it in any other way besides bringing God into the picture, I do think it should be legal. I see it the same way I see prostitution and recreational hardcore drug use. According to God, we do not have the right to harm and mistreat the body and life that was given to us. But this does not hold water if we have separation of Church and state. And thus I think all those things should be legal because you are not directly hurting someone else.

"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
