   My opinion is that if the family would want that, they aren't worth doing it   
   for. Otherwise, you can assume the family *definitely doesn't* want it. You   
   can assume this is a result of distorted thinking, because a person in their   
   right mind would know that they would hurt their loved ones *far* more by   
   killing themselves--way beyond comparison--than by being poor, no matter how   
   desperate.   
      
   Again, if your supposed "loved ones" would rather you die so they can get   
   out of their predicament, then by definition they aren't worth dying for.
