Florida teenager commits suicide online.

That choice is GRANTED. It's part-in-parcel of this thing we call 'life'. quote>

duh

But If some guy is going to jump off a bridge, then onlookers and authorities have the right to talk that person down. Obviously you can't stop someone from killing themselves at home or in private, but if you catch someone doing it...

And why does it seem that most people here assume that everyone who watched it had the benefit of foresight and knew he indeed was committing suicide and this was not a hoax and thus there is a rational belief for criminal action to be taken against viewers of the video? The suicide and the morbid curiosity I can stomach...such blatant disregard for human rights "in the name of humanity" truly makes me sick.quote>

Actually I said the same thing a while back. As they say, it's a tragedy not a crime.

This kind of thing makes me retch.  Why did no one report it for hours?  The kid probably could have been saved.

"To die, to sleep.  To sleep, perchance ...

"To dream! ...

"And in that sleep of death what dreams may come

"Must give us pause."

Paraphrased from Hamlet by W. Shakespeare

^{Clearly, this kid lacked education in both ethics and life skills.  Why?}
