Who knew the cultlike stance life is always worth it is not true? Shocking isn't it? Here I thought it was more reasonable to assume a dragon is trying to killing me because I can't prove it not.

It may be scary as hell for us to hear, but I think saving lives requires a radical shift in the conversation; desperate people need to be free to talk openly about suicide without feeling that the listener is clinically parsing their every word.

This should be rephrased to "It may be scary as hell for us to hear, but I think saving lives requires a radical shift in the way we handle those who express suicidal ideation or tendencies; desperate people need to be free to talk openly about suicide without the threat of involuntary hospitalization and various other violations of their civil liberties and freedom. Also, the listener should not be clinically parsing the patient's every word nor pathologizing every single reaction of the patient."
