Hmmm...well, I don't know...if you want to die, but don't have the nerve to do it yourself, or are wavering for years in indecision, it would get the job done and you wouldn't even have had to do it yourself.
FYI - being really depressed or suicidal does not mean shunning the responsibility for your situation, as Shamou indicated. I don't ever remember thinking "and it's not my fault".
On the contrary, one is more often laden with self-blame and guilt, which contributes greatly to the depression and self-loathing. So blaming the suicidal person even further is really nasty and puts them even farther down.
P.S. Casey - the blog entry Holistic Star is referring to is this one:
