I don’t object to people killing themselves although I would try to talk them out of it.

Easily said. However, they were both deaf, and becoming blind. Exactly how would you continue with any type of communication with them, if they had lived ?

I can only imagine it would be like being in an isolation chamber for the rest of your life.

Most people go nuts if they spend more than an hour in an isolation chamber.

Helen Keller’s improbable journey from a child unable to communicate due to her multiple disabilities, to her exalted place on the world stage as the famous global citizen she would become, is one of the greatest stories of the 20th century.

Helen Keller. Braille. Touch. A trial run with blindfolds. Maybe I couldn’t talk them out of it, but I would try.
