Dr.Thomas Szasz--the genius who brought us "The Myth of Mental Illness"-- certainly believes in the right to suicide. Something about anti-suicide legislation being a real power trip...all about depriving the king of a servant or something. I don't quite remember.
Psychiatry in general seems to have a sort of Death Cult aspect to it that freaks me out sometimes. They lock people up, give people terrible labels, terrible prognosis, and then make their lives miserable. Happened to me for entirely too long, that's for sure.
Maybe its more social darwinism? Like..we'll help the strong, but the weaklings need to be controlled, lock up, drugged up, and possibly off themselves? Shrinks themselves have an unusually high suicide rate, if I recall correctly.
