This is not a straightforward issue, of course, so I'm not saying "Everyone go kill yourselves if you feel like it!" but I think the selfish pendulum swings both ways.
I think the expectation that those who have nothing of enough value to offset their pain should nonetheless be expected to go on suffering to ease your days, as if their lives were not their own but your property to command for your own comfort, is greedy selfishness of a whole different order than doing as you please with what is mostly your own.
