I know that it's hard for some people to talk to someone when they are about to end their life because to them no one wants them, and if they were to go talk to someone they figured that the person would judge them and don't want to hear what they got to say but they shouldn't end their life they should go talk to someone that won't judge them so they won't end their life over something stupid. I think it should be a crime big time. Side: Crime

I would at least first tell the boy/man or girl/woman to stand back and really think about the situation and come up with ways to help. It may be just me, but i won't let the person commit suicide because i think it is the wrong choice. It may be selfish of me, but i will stop the attempt. Side: Crime
I think anyone who kills themselves should be locked up for the rest of their...oh wait, never-mind. Really though, I think it should be a person's right to choose. Only they know what is going on in their lives and the best way to deal with it. They may need to seek counseling before making that final decision though. Side: FREEDOM
