Some people aren't in a fit state to get help themselves.

I disagree with it being 'selfish' in ALL cases though. Sometimes it can be.

But easy way out, most definitely. Leave everyone else to pick up the pieces.

Sorry, I don't agree. I get where you're come from re: leaving everything behind and not wanting to deal with problems, but calling it easy just doesn't suit right with me. That's probably because of how I view the act itself though. I know there are less painful ways to take your own life, but there are some that I can't even imagine that someone's pain threshold can take. I also think that sometimes the pieces are already there for people to pick up whilst they're alive, but it unfortunately doesn't happen that way on some occasions.

I don't think it's selfish in all cases because I said in this instance it's understandable for it to be called as such.
