Default Re: Suicide.

you'd be surprised at how many people DON'T think it's stupid. It was only until the 90s that all US states annulled their laws concerning suicide... not to mention the entire religious population that has a strong stance on suicide.

I also certainly do NOT think it is impossible to think that you can legally prohibit a person from doing something to themselves - drug legislation?

Anyway, of course I think suicide should be discouraged and proper counseling and psychiatric evaluation/care should be given to someone who is suicidal - but I'm not sure that it should be compulsory. It's a murky issue... I haven't given too much thought on the extent that compulsory prevention should play.
