Do you think attempted suicide should be a crime or not?

[Anonymous]

I think no because people who try suicide are only physically harming themself.

They are not causing physical harm to other people.

Attempted suicide used to be considered a crime in the USA

It depends on their method.
Keep in mind that no suicide only affects the person who kills themself. There are the people who find them dead. There are the family members who will be without that person. In the case of subsides where they jump in front of a bus or train… or jump from a building…. Someone has to clean that mess up. It’s not a victimless event.
I have no problem with assisted suicide where a doctor injects you with something and you fall asleep forever. But this should be reserved for people who are dying already…. Not young healthy people. They need a different type of doctor.

Absolutely not

The majority of laws are not meant to protect people because people are inherently valuable. They are meant to protect the government’s access to human resources. Each one of us is a source of income and productivity. When you k*ll yourself, you’re stealing from the government and the corporations that benefit most from your existence.

It's on the books so police can intervene and take steps to get you the help they need. The district attorney Probably isn't following through with charges.

[CaptainSmartass]

The police usually have people sectioned for that, so they can get help.

Simples...
