Professor G.Fairbairn, Running stream Professor of Ethics and Language, Leeds Metropolitan University, UK gave seminar in the Indian Statistical Institute recently. He is the author of the book titled " Contemplative suicide" published by Routledge.

He argued that 'Labeling' in society haunts individual to commit suicide. Some of the labels are failed suicide, non fatal suicide, feign suicide etc.

The issue is relevant if we can think of Psycholinguistic approach in suicide prevention as I guess.
