Not sure this can be discussed without it becoming a discussion on the morality of suicide... but I'm hoping we can. The interesting thing to me here is not the suicide itself, but the thought process he showed in the planning, and his reasoning.

Just started reading into some of this. Pretty fascinating.

I'm all too aware that most often suicides are not spontaneous or impulsive actions, but rather much more thought out. But to think Manley spent more than a year planning his and documenting thoughts and details along the way is both eye-opening and disturbing. With the publicity this has already received, along with a couple other recent suicides that were streamed online, I really don't want to think about where this could be headed.
