If a person wants to end his or her own life, then they should be able to. They didn't ask to be born, so they should at least have the option to die when they want. I don't think people realise the willpower it takes to take your own life. I wouldn't even be able to inflict harm upon myself intentionally, let alone kill myself. If something has driven a person so far that they are able to take their own life, then it is their right to do so.
It relates because what you do directly effects other people whether you know it or not. As a simply smile to a stranger could make them uplifted for the moment. I knew most wouldn't get the quote or by who. It was by a famous African American who was the first to play baseball for the major leagues. Also, was an activist for the civil rights movement. You gotta think abroad. The big picture. Not just that one life. But, the possibly hundreds they effect.
