Nothing inhumane about letting people have agency over when their own lives end. Again, I commend saving him, cause these decisions are often made rashly and in haste after a particularly bad day/event. But after his chance to reconsider, why should the government have the authority to say, no you can't die right now?

because me personally, i don’t wanna be going on about my day and see someone blow their brains out, or jump off a bridge to their death.

maybe their should be other alternatives, instead of making a public display.

Yeah, which is the argument I made against it in my edit in the first comment. He should be allowed to do it privately though, if he still wants to.

Locking him up in the psych ward is doing that

He could’ve done it in him home
