activist: People who want to kill themselves?
prosecutor: To punish—
activist: A man who wants to kill himself? What he needs is
psychiatric treatment.
prosecutor: You’re right, we can’t execute him while he’s insane.
activist: I think you may be starting to get it!
prosecutor: We call for treatment to cure his depression.
When he wants to live again, then we can execute him.
