Do you think a proposal should be put forth in America like they did in canada making suicide a human right? Suicide in general is the 2nd leading cause of death in canada for males 15-36. In america white males accounted for 70% of all suicide deaths (afsp.org). The second leading cause of death for white males 10-14 and the third leading cause of death for white makes 15-24 (sprc.org).
