Indeed, it is not like it is going to work like the suicide booth in Futurama, probably you will need to see some therapist and you will have the opportunity to explore different resolution to your problems. The "call for help" suicide for example will most likely been caught with no risk of death. Isn't that what happened with abortion ? Because parent argument is very similar to those against abortion.

"You probably don't want an abortion, talk to this psychologist and wait a minimum of X days before you can do this" =? "You probably don't want to end your life, talk to this psychologist and wait a minimum of X days before you can do this" In the case of abortion you weigh the mother's wishes vs the child's potential existence, in the case of suicide you weigh the individual vs their friends and family. I suppose whether or not they're similar depends on how you weigh these factors.
