Just delaying the inevitable. Can't keep them tied up forever after all. Biological needs and all that. Plus, you've gotta sleep sometime. Even if you get them involuntarily committed, as soon as they can get out, they're doing it.000Ronald said:Like hell I'm not going to stop it. If I know for a fact he's going to commit suicide, I'll beat him within an inch of his life and tie him up if that's what it takes to stop him. I can do that. I'm good with knots.
The suicide in this scenario is going to happen, the person is tired of being alive, nothing can change that, and any intervention is going to fail. Physical intervention buys you however long it takes for them to convince you they're over it, or you have to release them. Legal or medical intervention lasts until they can bullshit their way out, then death happens. Just thought I'd clarify.
