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.
