Suicide

When people discuss suicide you often hear the comment, it is the cowards way out. I completely disagree with this. How could killing yourself be a easy thing to do? To be in a situation where you believe your only option is to die is awful, I don't no how anyone could criticise them. It must be bad for the family and friends left behind. So in this way I suppose it could be described a a selfish act. But you have to keep in mind that the person wasn't well.

A recent example of a person committing suicide is Mark Speight, A children's TV presenter who killed himself following the death of his girlfriend. This story is extremely sad and highlights the the issue of suicide.
