Honestly, I've battled with those same questions.
I read, after Spalding Gray committed suicide, a quote from a friend of his who said "I would never expect anyone to live for my sake, a life they found unendurable,"I honestly thought that it was a beautiful thing to say.
There are so many variables though, I think of the effect on children, and wonder..
Sometimes I think, the reason people are so against it, is because they can't understand the horror of depression, but at other times, I think maybe it's because they wonder themselves what the point it, and don't want to question whether or not there is a great purpose to the endurance of suffering.
