Suicide is another tough issue. Always heated with passionate people on both sides.
I've been lucky enough not to have anyone I've loved kill themselves, but I have known a couple.
What distresses me the most is how easily their lives could've been fixed had they had some deterrent or someone to guide them back to a place of inner contentment.
Should people have the right to kill themselves? Admittedly, they probably should, but the ramifications of accepting that concept is a price that our society is not willing to pay - and I for one would rather see us trod a LITTLE roughshod over the right to die and save some lives rather than give up and let the disease of depression destroy entire families.
