Seems more like a dumbass people problem.

Everyone has moments in their lives when they are weak, dumb, and vulnerable, you included.

Not in favor of helping dumbass humans no matter who they are. Humans are not endangered. Humans are ruining the planet. And we have all these other species on the planet that need saving, so why are we saving those who want out?

If someone wants to kill themselves, some empty, token gesture won't stop them. It does, however, give everyone else a smug sense of satisfaction that they're "doing something" by expressing "appropriate outrage" when those tokens are absent, and plenty of people who've attempted suicide seem to think the heightened "awareness" & "sensitivity" of recent years is hollow virtue signaling. Systematic reviews bear out the ineffectiveness of crisis hotlines, so they're not popularly touted for effectiveness.

If someone really wants to kill themselves, I think that's ultimately their choice, and we should respect it & be grateful.
