      Whether out in public or in private is better, depends on context.

      Although it’s probably a bit beyond social media debate. When it comes down to “seeing a strangers body floating in the river” , “finding your sibling hanging in the next room” or “found at a kindergarten playground”.

      spoiler

      All of those examples are based on real life acquaintances who ended their lives, and their discovery. And to be clear: The kindergarten one was discovered before the kids arrived.

        If assisted suicide was accessible public suicides likely wouldn’t be common. The number of people with exploded heads that emergency responders find would decline drastically I imagine.
