I even see it on ATS, I bet most of the angry people wouldn't dream of being the way they are in a face to face discussion at the pub.
Why should we care? I mean obviously the people who kill them selves didn’t want to be here in the first place. Who are we to get in there way?

I'm the same, I interact online as if I'm at the pub debating something over a game of pool and a pint.

As cold as that sounds it’s a serious question.
While I know suicide tears apart the ones left behind with unanswered questions, what about the person who killed them selves? What about their feelings? Maybe society should embrace suicide and create an environment where the ones who want to kill them selves get to say goodbye to all the family members like a funeral. But they are alive to say it to everyone and explain its their choice.
Then they head off to a medical professional and they assist in the suicide. Would be a lot better on everyone I assure you.
Cut your junk off and you’re normal, want to kill yourself and your crazy. Just don’t get it.
I think there is some merit to your discussion. The situation you described would give the person the chance to change their mind and they wouldn't have to make that decision in the pit of despair. They could back out up until the last minute. If they still wish to go ahead the job would be done right. Can you imagine the absolute hell of blowing your head off only to realize you are still alive only without a face? I feel that many who are inspired to commit suicide wouldn't give up as quick if they know they always have that option. Kurt Vonegut called them "ethical suicide parlors" in his books.

Just after two celebrity suicides in a week, one a chef, one a fashion designer, we now find that suicide is number 10 on the killer list.
"CDC: Suicides increased by more than 30 percent since 1999 in half the states"
I found this clip interesting.
"Opioids were present in 31 percent of those who died by suicide. While Stone acknowledged that a person’s intentions are not always clear when drugs are present, these were deemed to be suicides by self-inflicted poisoning."
I have argued for a long time that the increase in school shootings is a result of increased mental disease. Not a gun issue.
Self harm is way up over the same time period so it's hard to believe there is no connection.
Why such a change?
Diets?
Culture?
