Also, if it is considered murder, why aren't those who attempt suicide prosecuted for attempted murder or are they not because they have some mental disorder?
Just wondering
I was always under the assumption that suicide was illegal because, whether it is successful or not, it tends to cost a lot of money in legal and/or medical intervention. I dated a chick once who admitted that she was arrested once (and only once) and it was because she had to literally be talked off a ledge.
