–verb (used with object)
1. to burden with cruel or unjust impositions or restraints; subject to a burdensome or harsh exercise of authority or power: a people oppressed by totalitarianism.

Who made you King for a day? Why do you get to decide what other people do? How about you manage YOUR life, and let the rest of us manage ours? I think you have a pretty full plate just keeping track of your own business.
This falls onto the concept of:
lib·er·ty /ˈlɪbərti/ <–noun, plural -ties.
1. freedom from arbitrary or despotic government or control.
2. freedom from external or foreign rule; independence.
3. freedom from control, interference, obligation, restriction, hampering conditions, etc.; power or right of doing, thinking, speaking, etc., according to choice.
I reserve the right to make my own decisions. Some will be mistakes, but they are MINE ...no matter how stupid, immoral or selfish. This is my right, and you have no right to impose on them. God will judge me; not you.
As was pointed out many times on this thread (and others about Kevorkian lately), nothing is stopping you or any other suicidal person from killing themselves. Happens every day. There are organizations that print books - or at least one that I know of - to give people methods for suicide.
What you apparently want is the Huge Nanny State Government to hold your hand and give its stamp of approval on suicide and rope in all manner of medical profressionals from pharmacists to doctors to nurses and turn them into executioners.
You cannot tell me what is stopping people from committing suicide right now. What hyporcits who prate about “freedom” want is huge government intervention to help you with your death wish. Instead of just taking responsibility for your own life and death (as you falsely state is your reason), you have that freedom right this very cotton picking minute.
What you want is the government and medical profession to dance to your tune and take that responsibility away from you.
