I don't agree with saying the person who 'saved' them is a horrible person for doing so. They acted on instinct, a lot of you no matter what you type out on here would most likely do the same if faced with this situation in real life. We can go on about being pro choice on here, but if someone was dying in front of us our instincts would kick in and push us to 'save' said person.
You have to remember being suicidal is a minority. The majority of people cannot fathom why someone would want to take their life, like you and I cannot fathom why someone would want to murder or rape someone. Of course they are going to step in, they're only human and in the moment it's not like they have the space to be able to determine the morality of wether or not to let someone die on their terms.
It's a terrible situation for both people and I wish the best for them, but I think calling that person horrible or saying they should feel ashamed of themselves is a bit narrow minded and cruel. It's not their fault that person decided to attempt in a public place and it's not their fault they sustained brain damage after their attempt. Unfortunately, that responsibility falls on the person who decided to attempt in such a way in the first place. It's terrible and tragic but it's the reality of the situation.
