The right to life, as it pertains to humans, is fundamental and serves as the basis for other rights. However, this right has been violated and challenged in various ways throughout history. While some advocate for the respect of human life, others seem indifferent to actions that threaten this fundamental right. These opposing viewpoints are broadly categorized as “Pro-life” and “Pro-choice.” Pro-lifers support maintaining the dignity of human life and oppose acts like abortion, suicide, and euthanasia. Pro-choice advocates, on the other hand, favor the legalization of such acts.
This paper specifically addresses the ethical issue of suicide. It explores questions about the permissibility of suicide, its moral acceptability, and whether individuals have the right to end their own lives. Additionally, the paper examines cases where suicide may be morally justifiable and considers arguments both for and against it. The discussion encompasses definitions of suicide, its historical context, and its impact on the overall respect for human life.
