I always found it funny how people are selective when it comes to suicide.What about the people who walked into the chernobyl reactor to maintain critical parts to stop the damage from being worse? What about people in war who hit the front lines and know it's a one way deal? The rare person who willingly takes a bullet for another?People seem to just magically forget these when they bring up their hate for suicide. If I had to guess why, it's probably because these are acts of suicide with an inherent outward benefit rather than singular.As long as your suicide benefits somebody else all is forgiven apparently.

It's horrible that some people feel the need to go through with it, but suiciders shouldn't be posthumously shamed.
None of the Abraham religions consider suicide an unforgivable sin; as far as Christianity is concerned, the only thing that falls into that category is blasphemy against god, i.e., not being Christian.But no, I don't see why it would be considered suicide. Is a terminal cancer patient refusing treatment suicidal?
