Wrong science fiction reference, it should be The Minority Report.

Would your prediction cause it? avoid it? It was really about to happen? If you are "testing" it, stopping the people that is about to do it would mess with the test? And not stopping them would count as unintentional murder?

My objections are not about suicides, but about predictions in general and predictions that can affect human lives in particular.
