What is and is not a psychiatric disease seems as subjective as what is and is not a crime. A growing understanding of psychiatric illness has yielded at least some good. But claims of psychiatric disease have also been abused for great evil. What constitutes mental illness will continue to evolve. Perhaps if the future is dystopian, suicidal tendencies will be treated as a normal, healthy reaction to everyday life. What should and should not die will remain a difficult question, but maybe suicide will be treated as a liberty. The human condition is far more than the labels we place on kinds of people and the kinds of lives they live.
