Suicide Is Selfish.
I'm merely interested as to where most people stand on this grave issue.

Sure, you kill yourself, without a thought of what your family, friends would think. If that is not selfish I DK what is!

You are just selfish for yourself. You think you're suffering, but people in Africa are more suffering and in pain than you.

Suicide is an extremely selfish act. There is help out there all you have to do is ask.

My dad killed himself and the fact that he left my mom alone to raise my sister and me is selfish. His life got hard and he took the easy way out and now the nite it nhappened haunts me so i go to therapy and take depression medication because i'm so upset about what happened. Suicide affects anyone whose life you touch. Just look at its a wonderful life. I perfect example of the selfishness of suicide.

Yes, it is selfish.
The only selfless suicide would be to give your life so that another could live.

I think that to outsiders it can seem selfish. Whoever finds your body is not going to be able to forget that incident for a long time, if ever. As for the family you'll have left behind to grieve, well, that would appear to be self-centred.

But for the person making the choice to end their own life, I would wager they think it is the most unselfish thing in the world.

Well barring sacrificing yourself then of course it's selfish. It's a person making a decision about themselves for themselves. That doesn't mean that it is always wrong.

 Some consider it a utilitarian decision. That's how these people justify it.

It seems more appropriate to understand what you define as 'selfish' as something closer to morbid. To call suicide selfish is just more negativity. Whereas morbid is a little more straightforward in its judgement. Calling suicide selfish seems redundantly passive aggressive.

I think pinning accountability to people who commit suicide is fulfilling some kind of selfish lust.

Define the precise meaning of the word, first of all, for us....

There is one variety of suicide that is noble: Taking a bullet for your offspring. Anything less would be Dishonorable.
Any intentional death of your being is probably the definition of suicide, so, yes, under certain circumstances, suicide is noble.
Again, stepping in front of a bullet intended for you child? It is the right and proper choice. Definitely NOT selfish. Not at all.
