Maybe you need to take a look at your views on suicide and realize it's not as black
I'm so far away from that end of the spectrum it's not even funny. You want to off yourself, go for it. The article I read was talking about how "brave" he was for toughing it out through the disease, but he wasn't brave,
he took the cowards way out, the disease didn't kill him, he killed himself. He didn't lose to the disease he lost to himself, so don't tell me how "brave" he is...or anyone that commits suicide to be honest.
If you feel thats what you need to do, I don't think it's selfish at all, hell you may be right and the world may be a better place when you aren't in it. Also if you are constantly getting raped ( or something on that level) I don't think it's selfish either, it's really only selfish if you had someone depending on you, but...no matter the situation, it's a cowards way out. Whether it's understandable or not is a different story, even it if is understandable, it's still a cowards move.
But, my opinions on suicide are...different I guess. When a wall street dude jumps off a building because he lost millions of dollars he's a coward, but when someone we love commits suicide we act as if it was some great tragedy, thats ********, both people are equally as weak.
If I ever see the two dudes I know who did commit suicide on the other side, I'd tell them straight up, "Cowards move. I go to war, I'm leaving your weak *** behind. We still cool and all but I look at you like a weak child instead of a man. I love children, I love you, children can do cool things, you can do cool things, but to me, you're not a man, men aren't cowards."
