Honestly, I could see it going either way.
My grandfather-in-law was really sick and stocked up on poison with which to
end his life. I knew that was going to happen. I never once considered
intervening.
If my son, as an adolescent, seems suicidal I will seek pschological help. But
I think that I'd let him take his life before I would have him committed to a
mental health institution. I won't know how I'll really react unless and
untill that situation arises.
In general, I will err in virtually every way, on the side of letting people
decide what to do with their own life and stuff.
