While I can certainly understand why a person would want to commit suicide in that situation and certainly wouldn't fault someone for choosing suicide, I personally would not think it's justified. I think that suicide as an escape from great physical or mental pain is not the answer. Pain is temporary and can be tolerated or dealt with on some level.
