I joke, in bad taste. You are right, though The facts are clear. Most people who are suicidal are just looking for a way to stop some type of suffering.

In my understanding they want to kill a part of them. The part that makes them suffer.
Throw a suicidal person into the ocean and they’ll still tread water
