If abortion is legal, suicide must also be legal. CMV.

I believe if unconditional abortion of a viable fetus/embryo is legalized, suicide must also be legalized.  I believe it is illogical and hypocritical to allow abortion but not suicide.

*if the life of a *viable* embryo/fetus can be terminated on a parent's decision, why can't a self-aware (already born) human make his own choice to terminate his life?

*It seems inconsistent that abortion is considered a body-rights issue when laws prevent people from destroying their own bodies through suicide.  If abortion is legalized, I feel people have the right to destroy their own bodies just as abortion gives women rights over their own bodies.

To be honest, I am fairly ignorant regarding the laws that surround these issues.  If you think it will be helpful, you can mention some laws.  However, I don't feel you can CMV purely on legal technicalities.

EDIT:  Consider this to be a hypothetical question, where unconditional abortion is legalized.  Also, keep in mind assisted suicide (which to my knowledge is illegal).

Another point to consider: Suicide is prevented under the gamble that life has the potential to be better, and someone committing suicide is throwing away his potentially fulfilling life.  However, with *unconditional* abortion, a *viable* fetus may be terminated despite the potential for a fulfilling life.  This seems inconsistent.  If the potential for a fulfilling life can be taken away with abortion, the legal system should have no qualms with allowing a person ending his own life.

This isn't the same thing as abortion being legalized. The vast, *vast* majority of abortions take place before the fetus is viable, and the vast majority of abortions that happen later are done to protect the life of the mother.
