Discussions about the ethics of suicide are immediately biased by the verb that customarily attaches to it in English. One “commits” suicide. Because this presupposes the wrongfulness of the suicide, I avoid that verb, opting instead for “carry out” suicide. This is evaluatively neutral, avoiding both the usual bias against suicide and the unusual bias in favor of it that the verb “achieve” would effect. “Carry out” is preferable to “practice”, which implies something ongoing. Finally, “carry out” also implies a suicide that is completed rather than merely attempted.
