Yes! Wouldn't you like to save another human being?

Yes, I'd hope you'd do that for me if I ever tried something like that.
Even if I had a view that life was no longer precious. You should try to deviate me away from this kind of view. It would be like a scenario with a child, a fork, and a toaster. You would warn the child first to not put the fork near the toaster because it could hurt them and you don't want to see them get hurt. But, for someone who is young and hasn't the perception to figure this out, you take preventative measures by physically taking the fork away from the child.
Same when you see someone who has chosen something because they found no answer. Their mind is temporarily clouded. Their perception, you could say at the moment is clouded because of their sadness. It's in all of us to want to help another person. Pre-judgement stops us in our tracks sometimes from helping other's sometimes. It's up to each and every one of us personally to see where we stand when moments like these may arise and whether our hearts will react with kindness choosing to help, or, taking an opposing view(the opposing view is a result from judgment and looking at another person as an object) to not help another person in need of care.
If you were in that circumstance, try to imagine how much you really long to be understood. Trying to empathize with a person who you can imagine is going through so much pain inside should move you to want to help them.

No, because then you would be doing just what I would want feel sorry for oh poor me. In the USA no one has any reason to kill themselves. If someone really wants to die because life is so horrible they should donate themselves to science so at least then they would be contributing a little to society

yes. Can't say from experience of being there but Oprah just had a repeat of a show of suicide survivors and it was so interesting. Besides that could you let someone die, in your heart, not stop them?

Yes. What if it was your girlfriend? If your own daughter was having trouble, enough so that she wanted to kill herself, would you not be concerned and take some action? I think we are all to some degree humanitarians.

It would be nice, but I don't think you should put yourself in great danger to do it.
