That's his personal choice. Who are we to say he was wrong ?

I've always thought that it's up to the individual to rationally decide whether or not their life is worth living. While, in his situation, I wouldn't have seen any reason to commit suicide, I think he has perfectly the right to take his life away if he didn't enjoy it. I can think of numerous situations when I would probably commit suicide (or ask someone else to kill me) in order not to suffer.

right, because suicides are generally known for their rationality and emotional stability.

As this case demonstrates, it is absolutely possible. Our stereotypes might sometimes be wrong, you know ?

Sounds like a character from my favourite novel.

Do not fight with one another over my banning.  I've enjoyed the time I have spent with all of you, but the time really has come for me to leave.  It is what I want.

I looked over Jordan, and what did I see?
Coming for to carry me home,
A band of angels coming after me,
Coming for to carry me home.

Swing low, sweet chariot,
Coming for to carry me home.

Tuppy Glossop did get rather down-in-the-mouth at times, you'll have to admit.

Who are you to know whether life is worth being lived ?

Worth is determined by how much some one is willing to pay, and the worth of my life was determined by the price He was willing to pay for it.
