Most people would perceive commiting suicide as sinful, ethically wrong and cowardly. Although these arguments may seem perfectly valid at first, I must say that I disagree. After all, it is one's right to take his or her own life if one so desires. By preventing that, you would have that person suffer more. Besides, it isn't exactly going to affect the human population, is it?
Some would say it is ethically wrong? How so? After all, what are ethics? Ethics is only ethics as far as we perceive it to be as it is.
So my question is this, do you think it wrong for one to commit suicide? And please give your reasons why it is or isn't wrong. Answers in philosophical context preferably.
Thanks and for the record, no I'm not thinking of doing that.
