The whole article appears to be very POV. Although it does document one particular view of suicide - the medical one - wikipedia shouldn't appear to endorse that view. The article needs more qualifiers in the text to emphasise that much of what is presented only represents one opinion. 212.159.115.35 12:49, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
"If depression is a major factor, then treatment usually leads to the disappearance of suicidal thoughts." IF the treatment is actually successful, which it frequently isn't, even though the medical community might perhaps like people to think it is. If it were that simple there would be far fewer cases of recurring suicide attempts made by people in psychiatric treatment. Akseli 10:49, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
I removed this paragraph from the article:
This article is specifically for the medical POV. Right to die advocacy should be taken elsewhere (like the right to die article). MoodyGroove 22:05, 4 February 2007 (UTC)MoodyGroove
Is there going to be a full medical views article? Night Gyr ( talk/ Oy) 21:04, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
The article makes mention of there being a Catch-22 situation in the United States, however it's not a true Catch-22 situation. Yes, people who express the intent to harm themselves are deemed unfit to refuse treatment, but if it were a Catch-22 situation, the same would also be true for those who don't express the intent to harm themselves. I'm removing it on this basis. — metaprimer ( talk) 13:13, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
