Making suicide harder just leads to the suicidal feeling even more desperately trapped.

I'm talking about the "not always" constituency here. Is it really better for anyone if someone's suicidal for 20+ years with no means to an end?

Well, yes, they do. Unfortunately locking people up and saying "you are too stupid to be allowed to decide whether you want to go on living" is in fact not nice; is in fact a disgusting infringement on people's rights as people.

We do need to have better provision for getting help to people who want help, certainly - but I don't think that "forcibly prevent people from killing themselves" is anything even close to a good idea.
