What a shame to all the countries, institutions, companies, etc., which punish, criminalize CTB, suicide attempts.

Suicide still treated as a crime in at least 20 countries, report finds

One in every 100 deaths is a suicide: campaigners say criminalisation deters people seeking the help they need

www.theguardian.com

Here's the report by United For Global Mental Health: https://unitedgmh.org/suicide-decriminalisation/


Don't forget the punishments in countries that have "decriminalized" (apparently!) suicide! Punishments in the regulations of businesses, religions, churches, workplaces, places of residence (homes, military camps, hotels, etc.)... especially in the regulations of multinationals (companies so powerful that they manage to dominate the laws in all countries worldwide)!

Do not forget also the deprivation of state aid, allowances, the right to study, to travel abroad, to obtain your passport, to take your driving license, etc., if certain laws restrict this to the suicidal!!!

I am listing the punishments for you, but in fact, the list is endless!

1- forced hospitalizations!
2- being fired from your job, your home, etc!
3- serving time in prison (possession of illegal products, drugs, medicines, weapons, manufacturing of suicide methods, having consulted prohibited websites, having attempted suicide in prohibited places, or in places where regulations prohibit suicide, having said forbidden words...)!
4- social rejection.
5- medical record indicating mental illness, the "cowardice" of the suicidal person, etc., such as a criminal record (in addition to a real criminal record)!!!!
6- discrimination
7- disabilities, mutilations, etc., therefore all the consequences (loss of wages, autonomy, having to pay for medical and paramedical equipment, prostheses, probes, wheelchairs, etc., with few means, without insurance).
8- Media coverage of your suicide attempt.
9- censorship, manipulation of your words, we no longer trust you, you are crazy, your word has no value!
10- deprivation of the right to vote, placement under guardianship, curatorship...
11- forced taking of sedative treatments, causing you to lose your consciousness, your autonomy, etc!
12-13-14-15.....etc, etc.

I'm ok with criminalizing suicide as long as it comes with a death sentence.
