If you are friends with the someone trying to kill themselves, then not
interfering will also hurt when they're dead. I guess I'd draw the line
at my being dead for their being dead. If they intend to kill me so that
they can kill themselves, then I'll leave them alone (or call the police
or whatever, but not physically get involved). If they're going to give
me a black eye and a couple of bruises, I'd rather see them alive and
me black and blue.
