Ahtong 1st Gear March 11, 2011 Share March 11, 2011 What is the rationale behind making suicide illegal? Is it true that the body of a suicide case will be handcuffed? If the suicide is successful, will the person's family have to pay the fine? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In suicide, the person only harm himself and willingly. Even in various religions, suicide is a sin. Life is yours, but your life is given by others (parents). So yes, murdering yourself is still murder. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skunk Clutched March 11, 2011 Share March 11, 2011 It's illegal because it's damaging public investment. Into every single citizen, taxpayer money is spent to subsidize their education n growth. Each one of us is partly owned by everyone else, so we're responsible to keep living, contribute back to the society that indirectly brought us up.

Dunno about the giving back to society part, but yes, it damages public property. Especially those MRT suicides... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
