They tell us that suicide is the greatest piece of cowardice... that suicide is wrong when it is quite obvious that there is nothing in the world to which every man has a more unassailable title than to his own life and person.

It argues that each person has an inherent and undeniable right to their own life and body, suggesting that taking one's own life is a personal decision that should not be judged by societal notions of bravery or moral correctness.
