Sorry BG, but I disagree. I'd help a stranger in need-I've helped people escape from two different house fires. But if someone wants to die-REALLY wants to die-then who am I to stop them? And if they don't really want to die, then they shouldn't be attempting suicide to begin with. Logic, really. I've often discussed this with my sister (who has "tried" committing suicide numerous times, not to mention self-mutilation) and we disagree. She claims that one of the times she really did want to die, and I responded that if she wanted to die, she would've found a way, and that it was probably just a display of attention-seeking behaviour.
Personally, I think the inherent selfishness and lack of perseverance involved with suicide detracts far more from the human race than I ever could.
