People may have a right to kill themselves, but they don't have a right to kill themselves on a whim or without discussing it with their loved ones first. My grandfather died from a terminal illness with unbearable pain. Had he decided to end his life rather than ride out his illness, I wouldn't have denied him that right. Maybe I would have tried to talk him out of it, but, witnessing how much he suffered, maybe I wouldn't have. I certainly wouldn't have prevented other family members from trying to talk him out of it. I don't know whether Tony's wife and young children were aware of his intentions. If they weren't, surely they have a right to try to talk him out of it. In the absence of such information, launching a search party was the right thing to do.
