    Let me answer that question with a question.

    Why do people come to the Psychology section where people are trying to decide whether or not to commit suicide and tell them that suicide isn't so bad?

    And what else can they do? How about cash prizes awarded post mortem to the guy's favorite charity?

    How about a setting him up with a hooker in a hotel room with a window he can jump out of?

    It is selfish because your just thinking about yourself, and not family, friends, like how much hurt they would get by this act. Also, there are other ways of gettting out of matters not just suicide, also suicide is a bad thing,

    It is selfish in that it is a cowardly way out and leaves friends and family devastated for years. There is always an alternative.
