>If it is his property it is his right to an hero all he wants and stopping him would be an NAP violation, also stopping him sets precedent for a whole pandora's box of "for your own good citizen" NAP violations
I don't see it that way, as long as you leave the suicidal person the chance to sue his rescuer. That would reassert his right of self-ownership, and put the rescuer in the position of the commissioner.
Something out of life, I had a friend who was a schizophrenic of the worst kind. She smashed her head against a wall so bad it put her in a coma for a month. Afterwards, she wasn't suicidal anymore. If someone had prevented that, I doubt she would've sued. And I believe anyone's first instinct would've been to restrain her. Rightly so, in hindsight, and not in my judgement but in hers.

>What I worry about is if the NAP isn't consistently upheld by those who abide by it, it will lose its teeth.
That's a pretty good worry. Something like that is why I proudly belong to the extremist wing of libertarianism. Someone's gotta play devils advocate when principles are sacrificed for expediency.
