Why should anyone intervene when the person in question wants to kill herself? I admire that about them. Hell, they'll even help you do it.

There's a difference between letting someone who wants to die, die and running someone over with a bulldozer or shooting them for throwing rocks.

Or was there a case of this happening in Israel and everyone went nuts in them for it?
