Personally, I feel sorry for one who is so full of anguish & feels tortured as to take their life. I have been very very close to it myself & I don't think people who commit suicide are cowards, or selfish. I think of it as more of euthenasia, where you are trying to find a way to stop the madness.
And yes, there are many diseases & chemical imbalances of the brain. At times I have no control over my 'demons' and life can be hell. And truth be known, if I succeeded in taking my life I wouldn't want anyone to feel sorry for me, but to know that I dealt with the pain the best way I could, that I stopped it. (Don't take this as that I'm suicidal, I'm under treatment & its working very well, except a tolerable side effect).
Of course the post warrrreagl is referring to is different in that the man didn't care about the other lives he was taking as he tried to take his own. I think thats a slightly different argument.
