In England, suicide used to be illegal. The punishment for trying to kill yourself was death.

Ok so when I first heard about this, which wasn't too long before I posted this, my reaction was WTF! So you try to kill yourself but if that doesn't work you die later?! That's not right. People, if someone tries to kill themselves and fail, why would you kill them anyways? Seriously, my head hurts from thinking about this.🤔🤕😂
