Cracking the taboo on suicide is the best means to prevent suicide attempts and deaths by suicide<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

TEDxZurich Salon “Talking Taboos”<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In the 21st century, we have something better to offer than leaving our fellow human beings to jump in front of a train or shoot or poison themselves. Really caring forpeople means taking their wishes seriously, meeting them at eye level. People contemplating suicide deserve respect, care, compassion, taboo-free communication, and safe, legal end-of-life options. Not belittling them as vulnerable. Not labelling them as mentally ill and potentially incompetent. Not upholding the taboo on suicide and the end of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
