3D-Printed Suicide Booths

Often death reaches those who are partly suicidal because there is
nobody who understands being suicidal.  The experience is met with
shock by society, which reflects that shock back to the person in
need.

When death is the only option, it is a great relief to have it
present.  But similarly, we need to provide people with avenues to
find other options.  One such avenue is Alt2Su:
https://alt2su-nsw.net/ . People in this group do not support forcible
medication or restrainment, and have all been suicidal.

When committing suicide, the moment one is most likely to change one's
mind about it, is at the final moment when they have the opportunity
to stop it.  The "life instinct" kicks in, and kind of flashes
everything before one's eyes, right before there is no other way to
change the course of events.

This could be a good place to put a message in an open hardware
suicide booth.  Maybe something like "there is somebody who
understands / there is a real escape".
