Suicide is not euthanasia. Assisted suicide is not euthanasia either. Forbidding people from killing themselves is just weird. Who are you to decide what I can do with my life?

At the margin it creates an incentive to not commit suicide, or to make damn sure you succeed if you do. In a time when suicide was viewed more negatively, I can see why such laws would exist.
