Skipper,
I'm afraid I disagree with you. While I couldn't care less if the thread was shut down and who was responsible for that, I see absolutely no problem with folks chatting about suicide. If I recall, the question had to do with insurance benefits and suicide; valid question.
Last I checked (and I hope I missed something!) this is a terminal illness. If someone wants to opt out of the long, drawn out version for an exit of their own choosing, who are we to say it's right or wrong. And that's for doing it, so I think talking about it ought not to be a non-issue.
We talk about bowel movements (and creative ways to assist them), mucus, incontinence, EL, FTD and myriad other physical and emotional sad realities... why preclude a discussion about suicide?
Okay, I'll slink back into my corner now and continue drinking copious quantities of beer and wine.
