I don't agree. The support I provide is not solely a function of what somebody else wants, but still considers it carefully. That's a key difference between the support I'd offer to those whose lives are impacted by a suicide or a potential suicide and the one contemplating ending it. Both faces can expect support, and that requires a willingness by all parties not to take sides. All that is possible is support, and it's not the same thing as taking sides.
