Automatically, when we are born we receive some responsibilities. We are never asked before we are born if we want this for ourselves. Therefore I would say that one thing that is more selfish than suicide is having a baby.
Everyone can not be strong. Therefore when you say it is NOT jumping is what’s hard then that would mean that most people would kill themselves and just a few strong people would continue to live on. This is not the case and therefore I disagree with the statement.

Deciding not to take the responsibilities that were forced upon us all from birth is quite possible very selfish. But in the light that having a baby or killing oneself is selfish; is it always a bad thing to be selfish? Going out with friends to have a good time is about making oneself feel good. Helping an old lady across the street (anyone still do this?) is about making oneself feel good. Everything we do is fueled by being selfish – We do the choices that we think are correct and that is what makes us feel good.
