The dichotomy isn't implied, not even insinuated. I wasn't even making a point toward that perspective.

More over:
> I don't see it becoming non-taboo anytime soon and for good reason

What would this reason be?

>Most people do go on to change their minds about suicide.

Thats a case against ignorance and not against suicide. Minois describes 4 types of suicides: impulsive, forced, euthanasia and philosophical.

Only the philosophical is the one that can be taken into equation because its the only decision not coerced. Suicide because of tedium vitae (per se) is the "philosophical suicide". No negate all factors like heartbroken teens who just "can even", terminally ill people and people forced to an hero to donate their organs in exchange for financial security for their loved ones etc are all matters with varying factors not really subject to discussion apart from the discussion of any one said instance.

And lastly:
>most change their minds
Those who committed suicide cannot regret it being committed. As such the act put them above any and all speculation and rumination on the subject. Thus, what you are referring to are "attempts". Those attempts and committed suicide are two very different things.

And lastly, dying/suicide seen as a wrong or bad thing is a flawed presupposition.
