"Suicide by Law"

"Suicide by Law" generally refers to situations where individuals intentionally end their own lives through methods that involve legal or systemic factors, such as assisted suicide or euthanasia, often within the bounds of legal authorization. It differs from illegal or unassisted suicide by the context that legal frameworks permit or regulate the act, emphasizing personal autonomy and legal rights in end-of-life decisions. Understanding this term involves recognizing the complex ethical, legal, and medical discussions surrounding individual choice, mental health, and societal values regarding death and autonomy.
