Well as someone who has ongoing issues with suicidal thinking, I think one of the main concerns with it is maybe the individual doesn't want to die so much as end the pain, or because they feel like they are just burdening friends and family or whatever.
So I think it makes sense to want to provide an alternative, I mean if someone has their mind set on suicide they'll find away...but many times when its intervened on the individual is glad not to have succeeded. Many times there are alternative ways to make things more bearable but its hard to see when you're suicidal.
So yeah I suppose I cannot say people should just be left to off themselves without anyone trying to intervene, but if someone really does not want to be here not sure they should be forced to remain either.
