I would stop them by instinct, and I'd consider that the morally correct action on balance.
So, without knowing anything about them, their history or their motifs, it's their personal liberty to top themselves? I certainly wouldn't stand by and think, well I tried talking with them, so go on, jump already, so I can be on my merry way. The only question is, would I be in danger preventing them. That would have to be taken into consideration, but nothing else on my part.
