Become legal? It isn't illegal where I live. And not to be rude, but you cannot arrest someone who actually committed suicide  as they would be dead. I am not all that sure how I feel about arresting someone who attempts it. If they do it in such a way they put others at risk, I  can see, but not if they didn't. I do think they need to be institutionalized and get help.

What good would making suicide illegal do?  You can't get any punishment after you're dead, and changing the law won't change that.

I think this is one of those "laws" that for sake of argument lets say should be changed, but no one wants to stand in that light because it makes them fear judgment or fault for enabling and being at fault for any losses after it

Some people just have some serious problems that requires help and if you dont help them they may die due to damage they caused overtime or just a quick and planned suicide. I'd definitely say, make sure you know that difference because I knew someone who changed their mind but by the next day it was already too late I dont know why they let him leave the hospital. Pisses me off to this day.

My Life. I should be able to end my life when I want to, as long as I don't knowingly involve others who wish not to be involved in my suicide.  

Only I make ALL My Life decisions now and only I should be able to make my suicide decision. 

I only speak for myself.

Exactly, you're an adult with a normal functioning mind so I would respect your right to make the decision. But this is why you need to be smart about it, because most people you encounter in the actual act if they see you and understand what you're doing they will try to stop you. So in my mind if you're set on doing it you can easily take the time to plan it correctly and keep others out of the situation.

This passes both the law and morality acceptance conflicts and arguments for me.

Agree and it's just a matter of short time and planning :)
