Why not a lemma

Suicide is relevant to a great many things, from assisted or voluntary suicide in end of life care, to suicide attack, to public health, to societal pressures for clearing one's honor, etc. I'm beginning to wonder about creating several-sentence definitions in order to build thickets. The philosophical dimension is one of many. --Howard C. Berkowitz 02:25, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
