Is it wrong to forcefully stop people from taking their own lives?

In the US, in particular the state of Florida, they have the Baker Act. People can "Baker Act" a loved one for 72 hours if the person in need of care is a treat to themselves or others. Many states have similar protection options. BUT, recently a 14 year old Son decided to end his life. His parents claim there were no signs of him being ill. Some say there is no such thing and that loved one's aren't observant. I personally don't think its wrong to forcefully stop people. However, they could end up still doing it.

It depends. Way I see it, it’s their life and have every right to end it. But if it’s something easily fixable, then try and convince them but do not force them.

If you mean directly interfere with someone who is in the process of doing it, no I don't think that's wrong. They may just need someone to talk to, or some other help.

If you're talking about incarcerating someone of sound mind against their will on a long term basis, then yes I'd say that's wrong.

Yes and I've done it before and it saved a life. It was messy but i would do it again 1000000%.

I see it like a 2nd chance, once they've tried and failed at least the people in their lives know there is a real problem and can try and help.

I don't know but if you saw someone trying to commit suicide would you just sit and watch them do it?

No, it's not wrong. Suicide is selfish behavior.
