It should be more out-there so it becomes less taboo, hopefully paving the way for a meaningful public discourse.
Its kind of personal. Its someones loved one. You might not want someone you love being a news story.
I agree we should have the right to talk about it. And get dignity when no treatment helps. I am for assisted dying in all countries.I can sympathise with this but suffering should be an open discussion not a taboo.
1 million people worldwide die by suicide every year. It is estimated that global annual suicide fatalities could rise to over 1.5 million by 2020. Globally, suicide ranks among the three leading causes of death among those aged 15–44 years. Attempted suicides are up to 20 times more frequent than completed ones.It should be more out-there so it becomes less taboo, hopefully paving the way for a meaningful public discourse.
This. Also there are a lot of suicides throughout a 24 hour period, too many for the news to keep up with. In reality the fact that it's that high should be a talking point that the media is looking at as opposed to reporting the actual act.I think the main reason they do not report them is to prevent "copycat" suicides.
Probably but we need more open discussions on this.. weird to kind of just push this stuff under the rugI think the main reason they do not report them is to prevent "copycat" suicides.
WOW. Fuck this. Jesus. At least we have SS
