Should people be allowed to kill themselves?
https://markmanson.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/022-suicide.jpeg



Life is sacred. Right? Since the dawn of religion, taking a life has been against the rules. And since life is sacred, it’s also been wrong to take your own as well. Punishable by eternal damnation in some religions. But in modern times, with the horror that some diseases cause, the question of being able to control when you pass has become much more prevalent. Life is sacred, but it’s also our own.

When our pets are too sick to make better (or the treatment is too expensive) we euthanize them. We put them out of their misery to compassionately end their suffering. But in many places around the world, this kind of care and understanding is illegal for people. But why? The answer, “because you go to hell,” doesn’t really hold water in a global community that has a variety of faiths and beliefs. 

### So are you allowed to take your own life? Is it ethical or is anyone that wants to kill themselves unstable? Should there be a minimum requirement of mental stability in order to prove that you’re not crazy or just depressed? Or should anyone be allowed to do whatever they want with their own life?
