On Tuesday, the Golden Gate Bridge district released the results of a $2million study to build a suicide barrier on the Golden Gate Bridge. The study proposes several options ranging from $25 - $50million.

An average of 25 people a year kill themselves each year by jumping from the bridge. Opponents to the barrier argue that a barrier will simply move those suicides elsewhere.

What do you think? How much money should we spend to prevent suicide? Should we even be trying to prevent it?

Public Hearings on the barrier will be held the day after the meeting.
