If she's really decided to kill herself she would have just done it herself.

With this system she gets to have a grand performance and validation from all the people going through it with her.

Likely if this law hadn't been in place she would never have gone through with it.

Women attempt suicide more than men but kill themselves less because are far less successful. This is due to their attempts being usually cries for help rather than actually wanting death.

This set up will turn hundreds of people's need for attention (or any basic acknowledgment they are alive, suicide is most common in the socially isolated) into their deaths.

And the reporting of this news story will have the same effect.

Suicide is socially contagious. We like to think we are all logical individuals who make our own decisions but we aren't.
