&gt; The rail operator will also send a large bill to the jumpers family.<p>Isn&#x27;t this the case in most countries? I suspect they do it to discourage other jumpers, since if you jump you know you&#x27;re saddling your family with a debt.<p>As a society we could avoid these things if we provided a legal path to requesting to be euthanised, a legal self-determination on the end of your own life. In my country you can request it, but you must be medically found by multiple doctors to be under unbearable and untreatable pain. If we made such a mechanism more inclusive, we could get rid of jumpers, as well as having an opportunity to turn the ship around for people considering suicide.
