Stopping their suicide?

The issue of preventing the parent's suicide has nothing to do with helping the kids.

You are right. The thought also came from a tasteless morbid video I saw. The educational aspect could just be the dialogue that ensued in the situation. (I could've linked it but... heck, It makes me feel screwed up just in knowing I can!)

I also don't know if this type of stuff would be covered in a psychology course.

If you could say that you would be better off if your parents had died when you were ten years old. Is it moral or not to try and stop another parents' suicide that had kids around the same age when they argue that their kids would be better off without them?

Weird question. Might it be better to just walk away from a family than leave a corpse for them to clean up?

Well, that's kinda the thing - if the person were thinking rationally about the best course of action, none of this would happen. They'd seek professional help.

If they can afford professional help. I suppose there are crisis lines...maybe free help out there.

Sure, but it means anyone is entitled to healthcare, regardless of their financial status. i.e. a basic right.

And have you experienced any major health issues? If so what was the quality of your care? I'm asking as an outsider.
 
I got hit by a car when I was younger.

Coma.

I should be dead but I'm not.

But you don't care, do you?

If you were hit by a car here, they would take you to the hospital and care for you. You would probably need declare medical bankruptcy once you were well, but they wouldn't leave your broken body in the road.

Both epithets are inaccurate.

Here's an example of what can be right about private healthcare. The wife of a friend was receiving treatment for cancer. The total cost was over $400.000. His personal cost, $450.00.
Universal healthcare would be great. I just don't trust the Federal government has the ability to manage such a colossal endeavor. We're like 19 trillion in debt right now.

Yeah, whatever.

I'd still be scum in your eyes. You'd hope I die anyway if I couldn't afford insurance.
