Is suicide partially a selfish act?

Asked by janbb (62914points) 1 month ago

Let me be clear, I believe in a person’s right to end their life. Lately, however, I’ve been seeing more about the impact on survivors. In one case, it is a wife who had no idea that her husband was going to shoot himself; in another, it was the son of a mother and he seemed to be doing better with mental health issues.

I don’t have easy answers for this issue which I think makes for the best kind of discussion. And I’d like to exclude, if possible, the right to die for terminally ill people which is a somewhat different issue.

Your thoughts?
