I don't know why it's so much worse than any other kind of death. Yeah, it sucks, but in most cases, you know the person was really suffering and would be miserable if they had stuck around. Is that worse than a guy that has everything going for him and dies in a car accident? I think it's kind of selfish to ask someone to keep fighting if they were just out of fight.
I think it would be selfish if you left a train wreck behind. But if you planned it accrdingly and did it, more power to you.
Remember that guy that kept a diary of his suicide? He shot himself at the police station. He had like 1 year of journal entries, up until the end.
Interesting and strange he had his day picked fir death, where 99.999% of us dont

Hmmm, I'm guessing this thread originated out of an argument in the 14 page thread below discussing Robin Williams' suicide. I havent ventured into that.
However, I dont think it's really fair to call his (or anyone else's) suicide "selfish."
We have no idea what was going on in his brain. He obviously had issues. He'd been battling depression and probably heavily medicated for years. There's just no way to know what kind of chemical imbalance (or whatever else you want to call it) he had going on. It's easy to say he was "selfish" because you would never do it. But perhaps our brains are different.
