Interesting, it's 3 edging out 1.
The question in my mind is the following:
You see someone (let's say calmly) about to commit suicide. They're getting ready to jump off a cliff or stab themselves, and you're pretty sure they're serious. You know nothing else about them.
Do you stop them and restrain them, if you are able? It's a matter of personal liberty versus social responsibility. Let's say talking them down isn't an option for simplicity.
My instinct would most likely be to stop them. I don't know if I could stop myself stopping them, even if I rationally thought I should let them go through with it.
