My post was specifically about the pressures now being felt by hospices and why St Christopher's, whom I much admire and support and who cared wonderfully for friends might be under pressure to leverage their shops as much as possible. And the word suicide is used to describe any self killing, whether wholly legal and admired in societies such as ancient Rome or medieval Japan or as a term in the UK. Prisoners are put on 'suicide watch', not 'taking their own life watch' for instance. -
Yes, killing themselves. Taking their own life. In the case of assisted dying, it is an informed, personal, justified and soon to be legal decision. Your use of the term suicide (which is the legal term for a formerly criminal act) is petty and pejorative in context. Your post was totally off topic. -
Sorry, but suicide does exist, it is not, as you've noted, any longer a crime, but it does, very sadly, exist. Or do you have another word to describe someone killing themselves?

Their mandate is to raise as much money as possible for the hospice. They're not a clothing charity.
