>Most people who attempt suicide and survive say they regret it. And later on they may regret failing their attempts. >But in practice it seems like suicidal people are not making a perfectly informed decision Many people don't make perfectly informed decisions about a variety of things, yet we allow them to exercise their freedom to do so. >And suicide doesn't just affect that person, it affects everyone around them too you know. That's a stupidly selfish and ignorant argument of everyone around the person. "You gotta keep on living because otherwise I feel sad." Not even considering that the mourning of a death of a friend is nothing compared to the suffering of a full-blown suicidal depression. If someone had terminal cancer and was suffering horrible pain every day, you wouldn't tell them to go on because them dying "affects everyone around them too you know". >Telling suicidal people to stay quiet and not get help they need, or even encouraging them to do it. I did neither of those. I clearly stated "Get help". I clearly stated to seek out dialogue, but not publicly over the internet. I never encouraged anyone to kill themselves, I just want to protect the liberty of anyone to do it. All in all, you completely misunderstood me.
