I will wait till I see the movie and reserve judgment. On a personal level, the taking of one's own adult lifeis is an act of free will. To me this is not a left or right wing political issue, it's simply cultural and religious and should be left out of the legislative realm.

At this point in time suicide has remained a crime.

Suicide and abortion are both permanent solutions to temporary problems. They are also both selfish acts.

If suicide is made legal, should we see abortion limited only to instances where the mother agrees to end her own life?

There are terminal conditions in both scenarios (suicide and abortion). If the mother (in extremely rare instances) does not abort, she may face death (and there could perhaps be justification for terminating the pregnancy). If the invalid does not commit suicide, he could die - wait a second, if he does not kill himself, he could wait LONGER to die.
