Reply #8: Youth in Asia, fine, perhaps

But suicide as murder? Not even. Not when it comes right down to the nitty-gritty point. A hard life may contribute to depression or whatever forms the context for suicidal thoughts, but laying a murder rap on anyone in that person's life is more than a bit much.

Yes, it'd be great to prevent suicidal people from killing themselves, and it has certainly been done (at least with people who were perhaps not fully committed to their own destruction) but ultimately nobody can save another from themselves and to suggest otherwise - happy exceptions aside - is to place an unfair burden of implied guilt on the shoulders of their survivors.
