[QUOTE=DrPhil;2171925] Some people consider jumping to be quick and easy--the messy factor and how their survivors (people left behind) feel do not matter to many people who just want to be dead. "Suicide by cop" has also been used for a number of reasons.

I completely disagree-I bet many of these people feel horrible, but the pain is so bad they feel they have no other way out. I think many people do it to save loved ones from long drawn out illnesses that can be costly not only monetarily but also emotionally. I think it would be a false assumption to think that just because a person is committing suicide they are selfish and not thinking about anyone else. In fact I think sometimes the family members can be the selfish ones-knowing this person is in so much pain whether physically or mentally and condeming them for wanting to end it.
