It's callous because it displays a severe lack of empathy and understanding. As someone who has suffered from serious depression and suicidal thought (to the point where I physically harmed myself) I can say that I was disgusted by the notion of suicide being a deliberate, egotistical choice. I'm disappointed in Atwood, and I can't help but think less of him now.
