Pilot Suicides
Student pilot Eric Johnson kills himself and his eight-year-old daughter by
slamming a plane into his former mother-in-law's house. The Indiana Star notes that as a student pilot he was not allowed to carry passengers... Apparently he practiced a few touch and goes before killing himself. This seems to be getting to be a regular deal. Embry-Riddle instructors killing themselves on the runway, other divorced pilots deliberately crashing into houses, people jumping out of airplanes on final and landing on power lines so that their severed torsos splat a few feet away from small children. Ah yes. Suicide is such a beautiful, noble thing, according to some people. This is a trend I would really like to see stop. -- Waddling Eagle World Famous Flight Instructor

You cannot even ask a professional if you have real issues or not without the risk of losing your medical. The forces people to make un-informed decisions about their health because they fear the consequences of being told that they don't need medication but rather to change their lifestyle.

Imagine that: they have to deal with reality. I recall some stories about people in their 80's that could no longer drive, etc.
