This is a very good point. There is always some level of guilt felt by some of the surviving friends and family.
I don't want to sound like I am promoting suicide. If it is a mental health issue then people need to be encouraged to get help. But in end-of-life situations I believe assisted suicide should be legal. And while many people would agree with the end-of-life situation for elderly or terminally ill there is a huge grey area involving young people who may just be disabled and/or depressed.
