If you where to think back to the
decision about taking your own life to avoid the scenario presented, you
clearly would feel horrified at the thought of taking your own life, but
the alternative is even worse, so you would still chose suicide. The
person who attempts to commit suicide has clearly done the same
calculation, they view their life as far worse than the heart sinking
decision of jumping from a building or pulling the trigger.
