Sorry to be that guy, but: "how?"
Our inacceptance of suicide and related concepts is entirely based what it does to others
> Sorry to be that guy, but: "how?"
By surviving the attempt. The suicide success rate is not 100%.
Plenty of interviews of people who, after initiating the act, report realizing what they did was a mistake.
Assisting every person who feels suicidal is likely to assist in the death of plenty of people who would later have happy lives.
Also, taking away the 'easy' option means that a large number of people will do it in a way that is more gruesome and much harder for the people left behind.
The problem I have with this is that it also justifies murder. As long as the rest of us are cool with it who cares what the murder-ee thinks?
Hearing someone even present this sort if argument makes me wish I could turn their lack of empathy back on themselves. How about we have psyche tests and anyone who would so lightly let other people die, are killed themselves?
Somehow I bet you would say that's immoral and outrageous.
You can’t regret stuff when you’re dead
If you take this point seriously then it follows that there is only one important thing to do before you choose to die: Make sure your friends and family understand your choice and can live with it.
