Why does society condemn suicide?
All the major world religions are very against suicide and consider it to be a grave offense against the deity(s). In many countries/states/jurisdictions, committing (or more accurately, attempting) suicide is illegal, although I suspect that's largely a codification of religious prohibitions. Psychiatrists will hospitalize/imprison a patient who is actively suicidal. And, even amongst those who profess not to be religious, whether they are agnostic or atheist or whatever, suicide is thought to be wrong and is something they try to prevent.
But why? What is wrong with someone who is tired of living arranging for his or her death? If you take away all religious arguments, what is the purpose of mandatory life suffering?
