>> He killed himself. Nobody else is responsible for that extraordinary action. We can only speculate on his exact reasoning for doing it, but I would suspect a man in that state of mind may not be acting completely rationally and just wanted to escape but sadly could not find a way out other than ending his own life.
Okay, I'll bite. Here's a hypothetical situation for you: Say I kidnap you and take you to a remote island or anywhere where you have almost no chance of escape. Now I offer you a deal - You can either commit suicide now, or I am going to torture you slowly over the next 10 years (or 35 yrs to make the parallel with Aaron). You only get one chance to commit suicide, I will take away that option once I start torturing you.
Under the above (admittedly hypothetical, but you see the parallels to Aaron's, don't you?), what would be your "rational" choice? Would you consider your _solely_ responsible for the decision if you chose the suicide option?
