How popular is suicide?

[libre]

Do you like the idea of people freely choosing to die? This isn't a discussion about the ethics or legality of suicide but a search to see what proportion of people in society see suicide as a free choice to die. Do most people want to be able to kill themselves without being prevented by the authorities to do so? Or is the idea of freely choosing suicide a minority opinion?

Hope you are feeling well.

Popular?

I don't know and I would not be qualified to speak for anyone other than myself, so that's what I will do. I don't think it matters much to people how other people feel about something and that may be the point, as opposed to the point of the semi colin, which to me suggests someone who seriously thought about ending it and chose not to.

You lost me about "the point of the semi colin." What is that?

It has become a somewhat popular tattoo choice by quite a few people.

What do you mean by "tattoo choice"? Are people threatening to commit suicide using tattoos to say so?

Something I read several years ago in relation to the semicolon tattoo. Some get them in honor of those who tried to commit suicide, survived the attempt and life went on, others who died and life went on for others without them, and others still who wear them as an acknowledgement of a time when they may have entertained the thought of suicide and made the decision to continue on in life anyway.
