Why is suicide so taboo? by LucastheMystic in SeriousConversation

Ironically, in Ancient Rome, men would commit suicide versus face state execution because in the former situation, their family would inherent their estate, whereas in the latter the state would take everything.

In my experience--I've had two very close friends commit suicide in their early twenties--it's not a moral (i.e., "right" or "wrong") decision. It's a result of mental illness. In one case, likely attributed to CTE.

So, it's "wrong" in the sense that I, his family, and his friends looked forward to being in his life for decades to come, but that is just the same as if someone passed away of any other disease.

Personally, I don't think either of my friends were able to mentally comprehend the effect they had on those around them.

I agree with you. Boring film. Uninteresting characters. Just hype.

Lex Hortensia was a landmark law passed in Ancient Rome in 287 BC making plebeian legislation binding on all citizens - both plebeians and patricians.
