A person attempting to help another despite the almost certain risk of death is seen as a hero.
A person, choosing to die by their own hand, to help others by relieving them of a burden, and maybe himself due to unbearable pain and almost certain death is also a hero. It needs courage to end one's life.
It does terminate future potential but what kind of potential can there be when one is not really functional as a human being anymore either physically or mentally?
