Jayteeto, I've got a life, thanks. I'm sorry for your loss and regardless of your family experiences, every person that commits suicide is not selfish. In my opinion, very few are selfish. It is amazing what people will do when in a state of confusion or if they feel threatened. That patient may have jumped out that door without realizing they were in the air. I've seen patients so out of it that they had to be chemically paralyzed. When they recovered, they had no recollection of what happened nor did they want to die. People don't commit suicide for selfish reasons. They just don't. Either they've lost all hope of ever getting better after possibly years and years of pain, or they've been so depressed for so long that it's the only way out. It is very possible that the individual in question had no intention of ending it all, and may have been the least selfish person in the world. You may have judged too hastily.
