Therefore, what on the surface may seem like an affair of one man with himself, is actually concerned with the society at large. If the State does not make suicide punishable, then it'll send the message that there's nothing wrong with committing suicide, which is unacceptable. Therefore I agree with your view that attempt to commit suicide should remain as a crime in our law books. But how you deal with the person concerned and each particular case, is what is really important.Anupam Patrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00179237569294043987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6541136381262666757.post-34296839380114792242012-06-28T21:27:35.885-07:002012-06-28T21:27:35.885-07:00Well, lets hope so... a suicidal person needs supp...Well, lets hope so... a suicidal person needs support, not further oppression.<br /><br />Good post, though.
