My personal belief is that there should be a legal alternative for suicide with a 2 week wait period, similar to some states' hand gun laws as a time period to think it over. I think that we do have the right to intervene in an impending suicide if the act itself will have negative external consequences i.e. Throwing yourself off a building emotionally scars bystanders and requires other people to clean it up.

Euthanasia should be a legal process. In cases of impending suffering a person should have access to an alternative. Ultimately ending one's life is a personal decision and I believe in some situations it is an understandable decision to make. Personally I only approve of suicide in drastic cases such as life altering dementia or late stage disease. To many other cases however, although I believe in your right to do so, I see it as a cowards way out.

From the philosophical view point however I think that individually people hold the right to prevent suicide. While it is the responsibility of an individual to choose whether or not they want to continue to live I still possess the choice whether or not to intervene. If everyone has the rights to do as they see fit I see no reason why, on an individual level, I shouldn't have the right to stop to the fullest extent possible someone from killing themselves. On the same note however I don't think that it should be illegal for a person to attempt suicide because ultimately it is their decision.

Suicide is a difficult thing to process, I've luckily never had any experience with it and I am sympathetic to all those who knew a friend or family member who decided to take that route. It's hard for me to separate how I think of it on principle and how I think of it in reality, if it were my brother trying to commit suicide I would grant anyone the authority to intervene - even though it's not my authority to grant necessarily. Death is a difficult notion to apply principles to.
