It would seem to be I guess but I personally think it must take as much courage to do it as it would to step back from it,especially when your mind is in turmoil, you are likely an emotional mess, you are wrecked from likely not sleeping at all and not eating right too.

So I would never judge someone who commits suicide, all I do know is I have come across people who really appeared to want to do it, who planned it carefully and barely raised any suspicion that they were going to.
That was learned after they had tried to, and all pointers pointed to that they were serious about it and went about in a full way. however they were found in time, mostly by accident, and once the right care and help was there, most are really happy they were saved and didn't succeed.

I personally wouldn't say selfish in the full meaning of the word but that can be how it is perceived by family, friends and others when it happens.
