:::: I have read the other comments above. There is no first world country that categorizes suicide as a crime (according to the Australia LifeForce Suicide Prevention program, Australia no longer criminalizes either suicide or attempted suicide), and to say that it is a crime is misinformed and wrong.

Russell's teapot is relevant because it says that the burden of proof falls upon the person making the accusation or the statement. Without this logic, I could claim that Ayn Rand had a tail, and could claim so until someone else proved that she didn't. In this situation, suicide was claimed as a crime, when (in fact) it isn't according to most third world countries and by (I'm nearly certain) nearly every person who views this website. If it is a crime in some Middle Eastern countries, then that should be listed, but it should not be labeled as a crime when it isn't in the main countries of viewership. --[[User:Limbo|Limbo]] 23:16, 30 October 2008 (EDT)
