While philosophically I think someone should have the right to take their own life that does not make it any easier when they do.

Philosophically, yes but in practice I do not see how you can ever be sure that you or anyone contemplating suicide is not actually sick, depressed or under various influences. No rational being should want to commit suicide as our instincts are all against this. It's difficult but I do believe that seeking help whenever you think that's a "solution" is the best way to go about..and being helpful if anyone comes your way.
Indeed and that is made more difficult by the taboo nature of it, you can't tell anyone or they will try to stop you so people have to do it on their own.
