Assisted suicide

Assisted suicide is the act of aiding or assisting someone commit suicide. Christian democrats oppose it, as well as suicide itself, per consistent life ethic. Some arguments against assisted suicide include that people who desire suicide are usually depressed and/or mentally ill and not in position to make decisions about ending their life, a religious belief that the human body is sacred and that only God has the power to take away lives, or that life conditions can become better and society should help suicidal people become happier rather than assist them in ending their life.
