By what logic does one come by the notion that we are just as worthless if we let him take his own life? Seriously, those ideals cannot be bread upon any secular, rational reasoning. There has to be something looming above your heads to think that way. I don't believe in your morals. I refuse to let you enforce them on me. So, if I want to die, then you interfering with me doing that would essentially be sticking your nose where it does not belong.
What IS this fear of moral decay within a society? It's nothing more than people trying to dictate the way other people should live. Furthermore, they are dictating how they should act in private, in instances that have no direct effect on others. In my opinion, there is no judgement to be had for these people who live apart from me, because they have no effect on who I am and what I do. The same should apply to everyone... so why do people meddle?
In conclusion, morals are ficticious and those who seek to uphold them in others are doing nothing but proselytizing. A life is nothing more than a moving, functioning body with a conscience. If it wants to end itself, the act of preventing that desire is inhumane. Those who believe otherwise, in my opinion, attribute way more to existence than is absolutely necessary to function, assign more weight to a given situation or object than is necessary to perceive it rationally, and fear for unneccesary things with no basis of proof, thus are unfit to tell me how I should live or die.
