Death is a very long way from being the worst thing that can happen. That's why a lot of torture methods are about keeping you alive as long as possible, or doing something horrible and forcing you to live with it. Not to mention illness robbing you of you mind and body, or personal loss making life unbearable. I personally think of suicide not as a decision to die but rather a decision not to live. No one wants to die but it is very conceivable that one could be in a situation that no longer is worth the effort to sustain. Side note, I do not feel this way now but when younger I certainly felt like being alive wasn't worth the trouble and had to go through a process of convincing myself it was.
