In a case straight out of CSI, CNN reports that police are searching for the man suspected in the gruesome slayings of the Savopoulos family and their housekeeper, after his DNA was purportedly found on a pizza crust at the scene of the quadruple murders:

They discovered his DNA on the crust of a Domino's pizza -- one of two delivered to the Savopoulos home May 14 as the family was held hostage inside -- a source familiar with the investigation said.

The pizza apparently was paid for with cash left in an envelope on the porch: "The next morning, Savvas Savopoulos's personal assistant dropped off a package containing $40,000 in cash at the home, according to the officials and police documents."

The bodies of Savopoulos, along with his wife, Amy, their 10-year-old son Philip and the family's housekeeper, Veralicia Figueroa, were discovered the afternoon of May 14 after firefighters responded to reports of a fire.

D.C. Police Chief Cathy Lanier says the killings are likely not a random crime and police have issued an arrest warrant for the 34-year-old Daron Dylon Wint, who is described as 5'7 and 155 lbs and might also go by the name "Steffon." He apparently used to work at American Iron Works, where Savvas Savopoulos was CEO and president. The neighborhood is home to numerous embassies and diplomatic mansions as well as the official residence of Vice President Joe Biden and his wife. "Right now you have just about every law enforcement officer across the country aware of his open warrant and are looking for him," says Lanier. "I think even his family has made pleas for him to turn himself in."

    We have a right to commit suicide, do we not?

    Not according to a lot of people. They like to say that anyone who doesn't want to live is mentally unstable and has to be protected from themselves. So many cowards are so afraid of death that they can't accept that someone would want to choose to die as they please. Not everyone has a life worth living, and life isn't worth anything in the first place.

      I had that opinion before too. The catch is that sometimes people have a really bad time. But they recover and feel alright. And in hindsight they are grateful for being prevented from killing themselves. Of course this isn't the case always.

      (and it's kind of weird that the state may kill people, but people may not kill themselves if they lack the physical ability)

    > We have a right to commit suicide, do we not?

    It depends on the circumstances.
    Is the attempt made with clarity of thought or clouded by depression?

    Only about 10% of failed suicide attempts are followed up by a successful suicide. Even if we assume that the eventual successful suicide was made with clarity of thought, that means roughly 90% of attempted suicides were not. So even the most pro-suicide evaluation would put 19,000 of those gun suicides as made in error.
