15. As yet another who has studied suicide

(from an anthropological and epidemiological perspective) I agree... people use whatever means are at their disposal. In Sweden and Denmark, for example, folks just walk out into the sea. But although generally planned, easier access to the means may facilitate it. People do change their minds, and easier access means less delay and therefore less chance of having time smooth things over...

It's unknown how many car accidents are actually suicides, but it's interesting that both spike during full moons. I found it a fascinating topic of study.
