While I agree it is essentially a selfish act I think there are some who truly are mentally ill (i.e., depression) that simply can't help themselves.  Others convince themselves that the world will be a better place without them and their family will be better off as well.  I don't remotely understand the psychology that gets someone to this point but there is no doubt in my mind that they lose hope.  Without hope all is lost.

I seriously doubt they think it through and really comprehend the ramifications of their decision.  It kind of goes to the issues they are dealing with that gets them to the point of seriously considering suicide anyway.  Complex problem but I saw an article that suicide among middle aged men, particularly non-college educated, is on the rise.
