> The gain is that the average mortality goes down by 0.001%. What made you come up with that nonsensical figure? Suicide is the leading cause of death in males under 45 in the UK. [0] And here's another tidbit [1]: > Eliminating suicide as a cause of death would have increased life expectancy at birth by 1.92 years for males and 1.36 years for females from 2011 to 2015 [in the US]. We can debate whether and how much reducing mortality helps society, but please don't pretend that suicide is in minor in the grand scheme of things.
