Yes I suppose your right. Just seems kind of... related... I guess. One who believes they should commit suicide is different under the eyes of the law then one who decides that they don't want the opportunity to live?
Anyways for the record, the girls father ended up suing the Crown for forcing her to receive treatment, and also suing the Jehovah's witnesses.
