According to Many Worlds/Minds (MW/M) description, painful survival may be almost certain for the first person observer who attempts suicide. This argument increases the fear of a painful outcome due to the suicide attempt failing. Increasingly, partially supported by the correlation of depression with time spend online, suicides are committed by intelligent and educated people. They reject common arguments against suicide. We recommend that suicide hotlines and first responders then try MW/M arguments. MW/M considerations help with many public health issues, facilitate smoking and gambling cessation and increase care when driving. As a somewhat Zen like worldview, mindfulness (meditation) belongs to it, and these prove beneficial with issues such as depression in many studies. However, long term effects are unknown, and improper MW/M theories become popular anyway. Effects of proper MW/M thinking on suicide rates and rates of mental illness such as depression should be investigated. We suggest long term follow-up observations of students after MW/M ethics lectures.
Comments: 11 pages, 28 refs, 2nd version has more generally palatable, shortened core argument, and extended arguments now up to completeness due to considering description duality between MM-Logic and MW-Geometry as well as VR/reality equivalence
