In such a system, suicide had to be a mortal sin or all the slaves might off themselves in order to gain escape from their hell on earth to a dream life in heaven.

The article mentions that the husband was not himself terminally ill, but instead wanted to die with his terminally ill wife. I really don’t see what terminal illness has to do with it; if you want to end your life, it’s your business.
