'Failure to act' on suicide website linked to 50 UK deaths
I don&#x27;t think this is a topic which can be discussed effectively. Most platforms ban any discussion of the topic, even those who claim to support free speech will shut it down. But little is actually done to help people besides telling them to go to therapy or call some phone number.<p>Do people really think that if they restrict access to methods of suicide people will magically get better? If that&#x27;s all that a society is doing then they&#x27;re simply delaying the inevitable or condemning the person to continue suffering.<p>Worse yet, you drown someone in psychiatric drugs that kill the soul, leaving behind a walking corpse. And we pretend like it&#x27;s some sort of mercy because there&#x27;s an undead zombie. Even if it&#x27;s but a shell of the former person.<p>The most likely outcome is that nothing major will change, and people will continue to lament the suicides.<p>Maybe people wouldn&#x27;t commit suicide if they had actual help. But most of these people have probably been abandoned and isolated from society.<p>Within the harsh garden of reality not all plants are able to flourish.
