Does it include the law that made it okay for Noelia Castillo to commit suicide the other day?

I think it was "okay" even before that law to be euthanized. However, the law adds a "a legal, systematic, balanced and guarantee response to a sustained demand of today’s society such as euthanasia".

But yes, it seems it is included indeed: https://github.com/EnriqueLop/legalize-es/blob/master/spain/... (which seems to have been well written enough to not needing any changes [so far])

Very glad my country is so compassionate with people that we can facilitate things like things when needed.

I would assume so. But that's probably it; it's for Wikipedia to record the failed attempts of Christianists to make it not "ok."

Like many, you are confusing "making it legal" for "making it ok." But that is of course the root concern of Christianism as an ideological project. Thankfully the correct legal interpretation won out here, as it did in the US Schiavo case(s).

There are laws that prevent you from committing suicide?
