Natural to try and save a life despite risks

FIVE PEOPLE drowned attempting to rescue one of their companions, who died after trying to commit suicide by jumping into a river twice in Dunhuang city, Northwest China's Gansu province. The woman who wanted to commit suicide, jumped into the water again after being saved by her companions the first time. Beijing News commented on Tuesday:

The tragedy immediately aroused a controversy. Many people believe that five people should not have tried to save the woman when she sought to commit suicide the second time, saying if she wanted to die so desperately, let her. However, this is wrong.

First, from a legal perspective, according to the law, the companions of the woman who got drunk were responsible for her safety.
