And yes, I am very close to someone who attempted it and know others who have probably considered it very seriously.
If they feel it is their only choice, it is their decision as far as I am concerned. I'll let them live their life (or end it) as they see fit and hope others would give me the same respect. I'd take the loss of a loved one very badly, yes, but not to the point where I would never forgive someone for determining their own fate.
Just some thoughts.

Who said anything about wanting them to live a life they no longer want? If that's the problem, then they have a responsibility to themselves to change their life. We all owe it to ourselves and those around us to treat our life as something valuable and worthwhile.
I completely agree with maleficent here. If you do decide to do this, be kind enough to take care of all the details beforehand. My sympathy goes to those he/she leaves behind.
