Should it be considered one and do we have the right to take our own life?

Of course it should and yes we do. I'm primarily thinking in cases of terminal illness or severe injury that we should be given the option to die or if we've exercised that option that it should be honored, however if someone wants to die - at any time - it's their body and their choice.

It is one of those inalienable rights endowed by the creator  :angel:
"Wherever morality is based on theology, wherever right is made dependent on divine authority, the most immoral, unjust, infamous things can be justified and established." -- Ludwig Feuerbach, The Essence of Christianity, 1841

"A bottle of wine contains more philosophy than all the books in the world" Louis Pasteur

"It is a truism that almost any sect, cult, or religion will legislate its creed into law if it acquires the political power to do so." -- Sir Arthur C. Clarke
