[net.suicide] painless suicide by phoning??

oh, that doesn't sound like a very good method at all.  first off, it is
counterproductive.  if you want to drive somewhere you don't call to have
your car stolen.

secondly, calling a suicide prevention center almost certainly has a high
pain-time product.  the whole idea of suicide is to relieve oneself of pain,
presumably in the least painful way.

as i said before, tendency toward suicide can be hereditary only if it is
prevented.
