> You can always "legally" "destroy" yourself through suicide

Not in a dignified, foolproof way. E.g. can you go to a pharmacy and get a dose of morphine that will kill you with certainty? You can't, in most jurisdictions.

Forcing other people to deal with the trauma of cleaning up your bloody remains after you jump off a window isn't exactly compassionate either.

Give people a clean way out, even if you don't want it for yourself.
