Suicide

[Bert Davis]

The other night at a gathering the hostess casually stated that Sweden has
the highest suicide rate in the world.  No one contradicted this
statistic.  When I questioned why a social democracy far in advance of most
in regard to a civilized way of living would result in high rate of
suicide, no one knew.
It doesn't make sense to me that a better life for all would result in a
higher suicide rate.  In fact, it would make our efforts for a better world
questionable, to say the least.  Is this some more anti-liberal propaganda?

Please enlighten me or point a way to usefuly website or statistics.  Thank
you.
