Man Commits Suicide at DLH

So it's selfish to commit suicide because of the effect it might have on others, but it's not selfish to require someone to stay alive against their will?

So I sorta missed the pulse of the board on this one.

I guess it's easy to be cavalier from 3,000 miles away. I can certainly see where you all feel closer to this event. My apologies if I offended anyone with my earlier post.

I would say "want someone to stay alive" rather than require (though I suppose the law "requires"?), but I think they're both selfish to a certain degree. I just don't think all selfish acts are bad.
