Woman commits suicide after becoming
depressed by her wrinkles

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=460657&in_page_id=1770

A woman [Amanda Barr, 44] who became depressed
that she was losing her youthful looks committed suicide
by lying down in front of a 90mph train, an inquest has heard.

Hmmm. Forcing a person to be the involuntary instrument
of ones own death is a horrible thing to do to that person.
I know of men who drive trains and trucks who have had
other suicides like Ms. Barr step into their path as they
were driving. Those men suffer a deep and anguishing
psychological wound and often a prolonged depression;
many have had to give up well-paying jobs by which they
supported their families because of the aftereffects. The
hardest blow is to the man's masculine nature as a rescuer
and protector; the horrible experience of the machine
under ones control slamming into someone's body and
being unable to do anything to stop or avert the inevitable
and gruesome outcome haunts the thoughts of those men.
The experience replays itself over and over in the minds
of such men who often blame themselves -- unnecessarily,
of course -- for not having been able to do _something_
to save the person who was killed.
