Some people don't want help though and those people, much like a non-cooperative addict doesn't wanna get clean, don't want to live. So while I think its selfish for someone to end their life and make their family miserable, I also think its selfish for a family to want someone to continue living that has no desire too. I don't know honestly, this is a subject that's just lose-lose really.
That's basically my view. I think it should be a case by case basis. My aunt's husband killed himself leaving her alone to raise two really little children, and I think that was pathetic of him, but that's not representative of every situation. And to be honest I never even knew the guy, so I can't even really give an intelligent opinion of his situation either.
