I just completely disagree that suicide is selfish beacause it hurts other people's feelings. Divorce is hard on the whole family. Paying bills and making ends meet is stressful for the family. Arguments can cause distress for everyone. There are soooooo many things that can emotionally affect other people, but cannot be categorized as 'selfish' or 'cowardly.' Again, since when is free will considered selfish?
