Subject: A Daughter's Tale: Question 4

Janet's implications of suicide when her "quality of life" slips is a complete and unnecessary burden on her family, friends, and doctor because they now have to stay on constant vigilance to make sure that Janet does not do anything too drastic. Janet's fear and anger is understandable, but the idea of suicide is a selfish thing. Janet does not consider how her actions will affect the people who care about her; all she is thinking about is how she can rid herself of suffering. With these thoughts, Janet's family and friends must know put their lives in the back burner and make sure that Janet is okay and not haveing suicidal thoughts. And if Janet goes into a depression, or if she does go through with suicide, then her loved ones must also go through the grieving process. Janet might commit suicide as a means to rid her family of the burden she thinks she is, but her family must then bear the tragic loss of Janet completely.
