I really don't understand what you would suggest doing instead. Suicide, of course, is a bit different than fingernail biting and professionals need to weigh these things. Also, Peg did not go very deep into the details of this case. Thus cautionary flags might naturally go up. Richard's comments sparked some spirited messages which, to date, have taken the other side of this subject.
Differences of opinion are healthy indeed.
This is how we learn. This is how we make progress. Points have been made without making personal comments. That speaks to the quality of this forum. Thank you all.
