And also, it may not be successful. That's why people are advocating for assisted suicide where all it takes is one pill to just put you to sleep until you die without pain.
I never imagined not wanting people who are depressed to go and hurt themselves as being a specifically religious thing. I always just thought it was a human thing. Heck, we've done it here!
You missed the point entirely. I am not arguing that depressed people shouldn't be helped. I simply made the argument that they don't need assistance committing suicide. Big difference.
