We should legalize suicide

Suicide is legal. The authorities don't prosecute anyone who commits suicide.

If you want legalized assisted suicide for those with terminal diseases then that's a tricky issue. It's a good idea in principle but we need careful controls to prevent abuse or coercion.

I saw an article on HN about this exact thing about a month ago concerning Canada's expansion of "assisted suicide" procedures. It was pretty fascinating!
