from the 10-out-of-10-who-succeed-at-suicide-will-not-attempt-it-again dept.
Nine out of ten people who attempt suicide and survive will not go on to die by suicide at a later date. This has been well-established in the suicidology literature. A literature review summarized 90 studies that have followed over time people who have made suicide attempts that resulted in medical care. Approximately 7% (range: 5-11%) of attempters eventually died by suicide, approximately 23% reattempted nonfatally, and 70% had no further attempts.
Even studies that focused on medically serious attempts–such as people who jumped in front of a train–and studies that followed attempters for many decades found similarly low suicide completion rates. At least one study, published after the 90-study review, found a slightly higher completion rate. This was a 37-year follow-up of self-poisoners in Finland that found an eventual completion rate of 13%.
This relatively good long-term survival rate is consistent with the observation that suicidal crises are often short-lived, even if there may be underylying, more chronic risk factors present that give rise to these crises.

I'm yet to see a deceased anything (meal or not) that objects. Or subjects... or even adjects for the matter. Noun whatsoever.

Deceased people object all the time. Aunt Tilly objects to your marriage but doesn't say anything her entire life, because lots of old people seem to become more passive aggressive. You go to the reading of Aunt Tilly's will and she gives away huge chunks of her fortune to everyone in the family but you: "to Jim, who married that harlot, I bequeath only a scarlet A that I have spent my remaining years crocheting just for her."
Yes, Aunt Tilly clearly "objected" from beyond the grave.

I guess I'm blessed Tilly wasn't my aunt and I didn't see her (in the context of ""I'm yet to see ..") - (large grin)
