Question

What is the punishment for a suicide attempt?

Answer 1

if it's successful, nothing.

if not, well you're going to have to deal with your family and friends and any injuries sustained during the attempt..

Answer 2

well, you cannot be punished for attempted homicide lol. however, if it's done in the public you could be punished for public scandal. nevertheless, the most severe shall be rehabilitation. ^_^

Answer 3

I don't know what you mean by this, but I think you need to go elsewhere for that answer...

Answer 4

Psychiatric treatment, it isn't harm to anyone else so I don't think it would make sense to put the person in jail even though cuffs may be slapped on to detain if the person refuses depending on how aggressive they are, well if it gets to that point and were they are at the time, calling the police for the situation is common and fines could play a possible role.

Answer 5

It is mostly a personal thing. If you succeed - DEATH. If not public, embarrassment and loss of reputation. There is no law for suicide except an observation by a psychiatrist in a hospital.

Spartawo...

Answer 6

mostly baker acting.

thats what happened to my uncle a few times, -- or seven.

Answer 7

A lot less than the punishment we face for trying to live. I know you don't like this answer, but if it weren't true people wouldn't ever consider suicide. ;-)

Answer 8

That'd be priceless if they charged you a large fine for attempted suicide that you couldn't pay, basically causing you to lose your home or worse, and thus... attempt suicide again due to depression...

Answer 9

First some time spent in a pyschriatric hospital.

Second, some states are now charging for the use of emergency equipment and personnel.  Could run to about 25,000 to 60,000 dollars.
