IMO forcing a stranger to re-live your angst for the rest of his or her life is not justified by 'not being of rational mind'.

It doesn't matter how the act is done someone is going to be affected. Wether it be the C Train driver or family and friends.
When i swallowed those bottle of pills when i was 18 my mind wasn't focusing on how my act would affect family and friends and the intense grief it would cause. All I felt was incredible emotional pain, to a point where there was no light at the end of the tunnel - no hope. I knew that when the pills had done their job the pain i felt would no longer be there. That and the incredible sense of peace that years of suffering would be over.
Thankfully there wasn't enough pills in the bottle and i survived.
Months later after getting help i was horrified at what i tried to do and the grief and pain i would have inflicted on my family and friends. I'm in my 40's now and I am haunted by that memory every single day. To think i came that close to ending my life.
I understand that you wanted to agree to disagree. I just thought i'd offer a first hand experience.
