I agree that suicide is for cowards, people who choose to look at death head-on instead of life itself. Although suicide is not selfish, I believe that if one chooses to take their life, it should be one's choice and their choice alone. It is sad, yes, but who are you to keep them from wanting to end it? I feel it's more selfish to guilt them into staying. Just remember that they fought a long and hard battle. "A fowl that is not dead could still peck grains," is quite a cruel statement to use for suicide, note this is not living, but simply surviving.
