Reply to comment by Frostygale in TIL in response to infamously high suicide rates at Mapo Bridge in Seoul, South Korea, the bridge was adorned with suicide prevention messages and uplifting photos. These measures weren't enacted by the government, however, instead the entire project was financed by Samsung's life insurance division by evilclownattack

Maybe it doesn't help people try to kill themselves but it definitely helps to lower the suicide rate in the country.

I am talking about countries that criminalized suicide like muslim countries or any other religious countries. I do not meant to hurt people. Are you saying that what I mentioned in the above comments is not true. I don't support these laws too.

>Reportedly a good way to lower suicide rates is just to put some fences on a bridge.

No, a good way to lower suicide is to make suicide attempts punishable and illegal and criminalize the act. It works in countries where it is illegal or religious.
