So.  Just how well do you have to know someone before you start
interfering in their life just because you have this fantasy of
preventing a suicide?  Presumably this varies with the strength
of the evidence, ie its OK to take a complete stranger with blood
spurting from their wrists to the hospital, but you don't walk
up and give a stranger a hug just because they aren't smiling at
the moment.  It's the middle ground that's confusing.

On a somewhat related note, what about lesser forms of self
destruction?

seriously
