It is a selfish act. But I think by the time they do it, they are so messed up in the head - they truly believe it IS the best option. Sad.


I can't comment on the selfishness of the act without knowing his frame of mind.

If you are trying to escape a bad situation, that's selfish. If you see suicide as the only way to help your loved ones out of a bad situation, that's not selfish. It all depends on your intentions, even if they are not well thought out.

Things have to be pretty bad to get to the point of preferring non-existence over existence, but that possibility can happen to anyone. :\
