Suicide Parties
There's a new trend in Japan where people are conducting suicide parties. A site is erected to lend support ofsuicide to those who are considering, which lends to people meeting and then planning their suicides.

If someone wants to selfishly end their lives on their own accord without the true consideration of family and friends then go for it. What strikes me is that if they are really doing it as a favor for their family and friends, then why don't they arrange the clean up of their carcass instead of leaving the mess that they do?
