Last I heard, about three times as many womn as men try, and about three times as many men as women succeed. Most of the stuff I've read also claims that roughly 80% of the people who try to kill themselves don't really want to (as determined by interviews by doctors afterwards, I suppose). Maybe these two things are related. Do women tend to communicate in less direct ways than men? (Women aren't "supposed" to be assertive, though that's been changing in recent years. Have the statistics quoted above also been changing recently?) UUCP: ...seismo!ut-sally!ut-ngp!lll-crg!dragon ARPA: monica.cellio@cmu-cs-cad or dragon@lll-crg
