Hi TROLL! you said:>>>
The United States does not punish but instead has you examined under intensive care by specialists<<< Is it obligatory to be examined under intensive care by specialists? What if the person will refuse it? will they force him/her?

Suicide is not an offence in the UK what is strange is that though it is not you can be charged with assiting someone else to do it.In other words aiding and abetting something that is not an offence,It all depends on the laws of individual countries but it is unlikely that a country would charge someone for attempting suicide in another country.
Suicide is illegal in many countries due to religious doctorinebeing the basis of penal codes you will find its illegal in most countries with roman catholics forming the greater part of the population.
In the UK if you refuse treatment you would be held under the mental health act until it was considered safe to release you.

The U.S. will not punish you in the classic sense. They will, however, put you into a hospital and evaluate you for mental illness. If bad enough, you stay, if not, you go home and have to continue to deal with your problems. I think that it is ridiculous to punish those that choose to take their lives. It should be an individual's choice, not anyone elses. And if they are doing it as a cry for help, then that is also good, they will then get the help they need. No one should have the right to judge another in this way. Perhaps those that say you should leave it up to a god, should stop using medicine and refuse medical help, because that is also artificially prolonging life. If by this reasoning, one should develop cancer, or any other disease, then isn't it by god's choice? Shouldn't you die by the course of your disease rather than try to cure it, which would not be natural?

its actually not technically an offence in the UK as the suicide act was repealed in 1961. I dont know offhand of any country which has this on the books as an offence in law but if you try and kill yourself most countries will stick you in hospital whether you like it or not!!

In the United States you don't go to jail for trying to kill yourself, I know that in some countries it's illegal.

If it fails try try again is the motto in some people's heads. I think that it should be made illegal everywhere. The bigger the punishment, the more likely the loons will fear life behind bars, suffering should they fail or just not get caught methinks.

In the UK it is technically an offence to attempt suicide but these people are never charged.
