We wouldn't always know in such cases, and there's often no way to know what a dead person would have thought years later if they would have lived.
- lisper 11y agoThat's not quite true. There are people who attempt suicide and survive. Many (though by no means all) express regret afterwards.
- ikeboy 11y agoThat's an excellent point. Obviously we do know sometimes. But GP's point was that we don't observe bad consequences from the laws in Switzerland, all I'm saying is that it wouldn't show up when someone commits suicide.
