Suicidal Tendencies

I had just finished reading the chapter on suicide for my death and dying class. First of all, this book is amazing, I paid $83 for it and I don't think I'm going to sell it back. But it has sections of randomly scattered quotes from other books, letters, newspapers, etc.
This is one from the suicide chapter that has some provocative goosebump factor.

"You may notice that I have not used the common terminology "committed suicide." It's because I believe this phrase incorrectly and unfairly accuses the suicide victim of an act over which they had no control. (If they had control, they would have not suicided. If they had, in other words, been in their right mind, they would not have taken their life.) The topic of "rational suicide" or physician-assisted suicide/death with dignity, as in the case of debilitating terminal illness, is a whole other topic of its own and outside the scope of these comments. The word "commit" is frequently paired with negatively judged acts: commit adultery, commit murder, commit a crime, commit a felony. I strongly believe that, because the suicidal person's mind is not working properly, there is a moment where suicide is no longer a choice.... If at that moment the person has access to the means to die, the suicide will happen. If at that moment the person is prevented from suiciding because he or she does not have the means, the suicide can be prevented. People refer to suicide as an "easy way out," but if you think about it, would it be easy for someone who is thinking clearly to slit their wrist, jump off a bridge, or pull the trigger of a gun?"

That last line does it for me. With this excerpt in mind, there is a hell of a lot more to suicide than most people know or imagine. Don't be quick to blame or make accusations. Here's a key word to add as well, serotonin.
