I agree that noble isn't a word I would generally use in relationship to suicide, but I think some of the at-a-distance judgment on this thread (words like "selfish" and "cowardly" being tossed about) is just a lot of people talking out of their asses, to be honest.

I don't know why TILH felt driven to do this, and it's not my place to speculate. What I do know is that some people who end their lives do it because they believe (often wrongly) that they are a burden to others.

My point is that people often go on and on, expressing strong opinions, based on very little detailed information and experience.

Ironically, that seemed to be one subtext of Arne's post.
