I'm pretty much the pro-suicide guy on the board, 2 of my best friends killed themselves the last couple years and their families are wrecks now. I think if someone desires to no longer exist, our Bill of Rights guarantees the pursuit of happiness and if the will to no longer pursue happiness is there, then after 3 months of counseling and getting your affairs in order and giving the family a chance to discuss the issues and fix them, or acquiese to the wishes of death, then have a judge sign off and do it in a sterile manner that eliminates the trauma and mess the rest of us and emergency response personel are left with.
Yikes. Aside from the moral issue, this assumes people wanting to kill themselves are thinking rationally and are willing to go through such a process.

The big benefit to my plan there is to identify those with mental issues and allow them get some help.
You hear it all the time that a person that commits suicide was the happiest person, you'd never suspect a thing was wrong, we're just in shock. Well obviously they didn't feel comfortable enough sharing their feelings and what was bothering them. Putting on the happy face often is a coping mechanism done to not raise alarm or risk being ostracized.
Too often family will ignore an issue or brush warning signs aside, then Boom.
