how about divorcing your wife/husband, thus hurting her/him, your children and others? Should anyone be allowed to do that?

  Divorce may hurt people, but it's not a great analogy because a divorced person can still be a good parent, financial supporter, repayer of debts, etc. There's a huge difference between the damage of divorce vs. the damage of death.

    > good parent, financial supporter, repayer of debts It doesn't sound like you're interested in what this person wants or needs at all. You're just interested in what they can offer you while they're alive.

      I'm not trying to argue about the merit of suicide, the definition of mental health, or any other philosophical issue. I don't have a specific person or situation in mind. I'm only suggesting that the right to divorce is nothing like the right to death and isn't a useful analogy. The circumstances and considerations are radically different.
