By all means you have the right to do that, as does everyone. Whether it is justified differs from person to person and how they view the world/society/life/religion etc..
The only point I attempted to make is that thought process is selfish. An individual may truly believe the pros outway the cons, and they very well may depending again on your view/belief, but it is still a selfish train of thought and decision. | ||

The entire argument of "is it selfish" just doesn't matter. On one hand, yes it is selfish. We make 100s of decisions every day and there are plenty of selfish ones in there. When discussing the utter misery somebody has to go through (usually a lifelong battle) to decide on suicide, arguing whether it is selfish or not is not only irrelevant, it's also counterproductive. If we participate in a culture that merely labels suicide as "selfish," we erode whatever last ember of self-worth somebody contemplating suicide hangs onto.
Selfishness can be a judgment of blame; in my previous post, I demonstrated that "blame" is not so black and white when you actually look at it with a discerning eye.

People in third world nations are the ones who have it much rougher than we do.

i understand the whole "its selfish to commit suicide because it hurts the people that love you" point of view
but if you are truly that unhappy, wouldn't it be even more selfish of the people that love you if they prevent it? realistically, they aren't thinking about you or how miserable you are. they are thinking about themselves, and how losing you will effect themselves and their own lives.

It's one thing when a person kills themself due to crippling mental illness, and it's another when they do so fully informed of the consequences and they're in a reasonably cogent state of mind. Selflessness and responsibility are about performing your duties even if they make you unhappy. It's not entirely black and white, but well-informed suicide is often very selfish.
