If someone is suffering so much that they would be willing to kill themselves for a little attention, I think we can all put into practice a little bit of the spirit of giving.
That said, if someone is going all Cancer Boy on everyone they know and constantly asking those around them to give, without giving themselves, that is a totally different issue.
