online suicide forum

in the news again

as Brits look doe a partner

to end their life together.

Is it the suicides that are the problem

or the end-of-life companionship

or the lack of funded help centres?

It's not the suicide itself, surely?

Better to have death by ingested poison

than death by train, lorry, subway.

But the site allows a predator

to kill the woman looking for a partner

without fear of consequence

and instead of a peaceful death

(nitrogen, carbon monoxide, overdose)

we get the proliferation of torture porn

and a death in agonising pain.
