I think most suicides are reckless at least somewhat reckless.

Tim, I'm not defending suicide as a reasonable act for a teenager who got his heart broken. Or the jerk who wants to make his X suffer so he blows his brains out in her living room. I'm talking about the hopeless cases who go to Dr. Kevorkian. I can sympathize with someone who has been unable to move or to find relief from pain for years and years and has thoughtfully decided to hang it up. I don't consider that reckless. I think it's cruel to not honor their wish to cross over quickly and softly. I think it's cruel to deny them relief under those circumstances. I think it's wrongheaded to declare them criminals. People who are temporarily depressed, we help. People who are hopeless, we let go.
