>Am I not the master of my own existence No, in many ways and cases you aren't. As comments below note, one of those ways is through mental health issues. While I do agree that people should ultimately have the right to choose, it's simply incorrect to think that it's a simple matter of rational choice. There's very good reason to believe that, in most cases of people seeking suicide, they are not of sound mind. This idea that you are the perfect and complete "master of my own existence" is one of the most pernicious and persistent fallacies people hold.
