I don't get this line of thinking. Should suicide be allowed too? That would make this argument congruent, otherwise I can understand it.

  Are there places where suicide is criminalized?

    Suicide is illegal in many places https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suicide_legislation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suicide_legislation

      Illegal != Criminal. Most drugs are illegal in Portugal, but all are decriminalized.

    And what's the recidivism rate?

  If it is voluntary, repeated, and the person of sound mind, I can't see why the government should prevent a terminal patient who is in constant pain from dying with dignity on their own terms.

  "Should suicide be allowed too? " If we say that people own their body and their life - then yes, they can decide.

  If it is not the result of mental illness, then yes. In Switzerland, you can go and legally end your life.
