On What Basis Is Suicide Bad?


On what basis is suicide bad?

It's wrong.  Suicide is immoral.

Says who?  That's entirely subjective.

Ok, suicide is selfish.  It causes the survivors a lot of pain.

Actually, that's you being self-centered.  You lack empathy.  You're saying it's bad based on you.

Ok....Suicide is unacceptable to society.

Society's acceptance is in constant flux.  Society promotes all sorts of things today that it once abhorred.  

Ummmm.  Well, suicide shows that you have no hope, you gave up, you needed help but didn't get it.

Surely you don't want to start blaming the victim like that, do you?

Ugh!  Okay, fine, why don't you tell me why suicide is good?

Wait, did I say bad?
