In a nation whose primary founding principle is respect for the inalienable right to life, suicide can never be approved. Society may not be able to stop every one, but it should never put its stamp of approval on it. And the government of we the people has every right to 'intrude into families', if one family member intends to murder another.

To suggest otherwise is pure foolishness...

That's one co-equal right/principle...not "the primary" founding principle. None of them have primacy.

We have an inalienable right to free speech. Does that mean you'd send in the Federales to force me to exercise it?

We have an inalienable right to keep and bear arms. Does that mean I am not allowed to set down my guns?

We have an inalienable right to life. Does that mean I'm not allowed to give it up?

Society may not be able to stop every one, but it should never put its stamp of approval on it.

Maybe you'd not call in the Federales...maybe you'd just have society try to coerce my political views out of me...they should never put their stamp of approval on silence...right? Why have privacy measures when we vote?

Sorry, but your views are in direct contradiction with our Bill of Rights. Free Speech implies Free No-Speech. Right to Life implies Right to Death.
