I can't get behind telling people what they can and can not do to themselves, their body, their life, their choice.
In general, yeah, I agree that people have the right to be able to decide what to do with their own life, but if my loved ones knew I was planning to commit suicide, and they just told me that they respect my decision, I'd wonder if they weren't just being callous and indifferent. It's supposed to be hard being objective when it's someone you care about.
