Outlaw suicide or place emphasis on prevention. If someone wants to commit suicide they will. Where there is a Will, there is a way.

Suicide against the law? What will a dead person be charged with? In some countries the deceased persons property can be seized, or family ostracized. But making it against the law will hardly prevent it.
