so your arguing that all suicide jumpers should just be left alone?
maybe at most clear the area under them so they don't fall on anyone?
And I guess you are also arguing that if someone you loved ... your child or wife or whoever was depressed and was holding a gun to their head... that you'd say "go ahead! it's your life!"

Yes, depression and an excruciating terminal illness are exactly the same, you have shown me the light.

Depends if there are kiddies nearby who might be traumatized by a man going "splat"
I think parties other than the government are best equipped to determine whether someone's desire to commit suicide is the result of a passing mental disturbance, or a sincere, well thought out desire to die. The position of the nanny-state pseudo-conservatives, is that the government has the right to decree that anyone who wishes to die is by definition "depressed" or otherwise mentally ill and incompetent to make his/her own decisions. Alas, there is no evidence to support that claim, since a lot of people who are currently neither depressed nor suffering from any severe ailment, are eager to ensure that they will have the right to die when they want to. It is a hallmark of Communist China, Cuba, and the former Soviet Union, that the government legally defines anyone who disagrees with it as "mentally ill", and thus eligible for forced "treatment".
