In the suicide prevention program, the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline encourages to ask questions when worrying about suicide. Let's ask the person, "Are you considering suicide?" Do not worry about putting out ideas or making you uneasy. People who are considering suicide are often relieved because someone is worried about asking them. If you are considering suicide ask if you have something that you can keep, like weapons and drugs, to help them keep them safe. Listen to their opinions without any judgment and ask if there are other people who are willing to talk to them. If they want to talk to family, friends, therapists, or religious leaders, please help them connect. And keep in touch - If you know that someone is struggling, please contact them regularly to make sure they are okay

Kant's paternal moral opinion on suicide interventions suggests that the latter has a large problem of rationality of suicidal behavior. In the case of KP, the central question asked about suicide is whether or not suicide reasonably determined that it is consistent with her chosen purpose, regardless of what its purpose is. Some philosophers have proposed a priori reasons for rational skepticism. If that sounds, these arguments will indicate that the concept of 'reasonable suicide' is conceptual irrationality. But they are obviously not perfect. These arguments are based on the concept of epicurus, ie the rationality to end human life depends on comparing the life that continues to coexist with the state of death. Assuming that death is not a human condition, or at least not a state of human experience, the rationality of suicide becomes difficult to understand.
