Teenager kills himself so parents can afford brothers surger

Mixed feelings. While I can appreciate the love and sacrifice that he showed to save his brother, I can't ever sign off on suicide being a viable option. I understand how things can be hopeless, but I would have let my brother have the surgery, but still hung on to every precious breath of my life in hopes that there was an answer for me too.

I don't think I would ever have the fortitude to do what he did. It's sad and yet heroic.

Admirable.
