sane people don't try and kill themselves

Ordinarily, you're correct. However, there ARE circumstances in which suicide is a viable, perhaps even sensible, option. These include being a person accused and/or convicted of crimes for which they know there is no hope or possibility of reprieve or parole, those suffering from severe radiation burns and/or sickness, or those who commit "altruistic suicide", that is, sacrifice their own lives for the sake of others. That's a fairly common occurrence among troops in battle and in the police, EMS, or firefighting professions.

Severe, permanent negative changes in one's quality of life, or the need to save other people from death are, IMHO, perfectly understandable reasons for suicide.
