[quote=Anonymous]NP. I'll give a different perspective here. A lot of people want to know the cause of death, because they're trying to protect themselves from confronting their own mortality. Suicide or OD makes them feel like they're safe from dying unexpectedly. Anything else makes them feel vulnerable. When I was going through breast cancer treatment at age 40, everyone seemed to want to know whether I had a family history or was BRCA positive. It was obvious that they really wanted me to say yes, because they would feel much safer since they did not have the family history. In my case, there was no family history, and my genetic workup came back clean. People found that scary, because it turned into something that could happen to them or their loved ones, and not just something that happens to other people. [/quote]
