While I have no love for scientology and scientologists, I have to point out that no reasonable person would commit suicide within hours(!) of taking some ridiculous "personality test".
The young woman in question had a history of psychiatric problems such as an eating disorder. I can state that such things are never truly "cured" and constant vigilance must be maintained in order to keep from sliding back into destructive behaviour patterns.
Her family and friends may well have said she was "happy" and believed it too. However that means nothing. Everyone thinks I am happy too, always quick with a smile and a joke, but I, like Shelagh Rogers, suffer from depression. My point is that no one goes around wearing a badge that says "Hello, my name is _______ and I am suicidally depressed." (If she had, and the scientolgists went on with their quackery anyway, the matter would be quite different.)
I strongly feel, that regardless of what her family and friends say, this was a deeply troubled young woman who had a lot of issues running beneath the surface. If the scientology test had not come along when it did, there would have been some other supposed catalyst that would come her way.
Scientology is a lot pseudo-scientific quackery and there is a lot for which it should be called to account. This particular case, however, is a stretch.
