I think for me, the reason I am not manipulated by suicide threats is that I believe a person has the right to die. Who am I to demand someone not die? I have had two bery close friends succeed- I am sad they are gone, but I would not have chosen to intervene. I fully understand the desire and I know I would choose it if certain things were happening to me. And I would not be doing it anyone else but because I had decided death was better. I have never believed death is the worst thing that can happen.
