It seems that 3 million could better be spent benefiting people who would rather be alive than a handful who wish to die. Is there any evidence that building barriers decreases the total number of suicides? Most likely it just moves highly visible jumpers to become less visible statistics by some other means of self injury. Three million to hide the problem (suicide) from public view.

For once, I’m with the environmentalists. (Although I’m surprised they aren’t calling for the bridge to be torn down…)
