Is suicide morally acceptable?

I remember oak talking about treatments he had to do without anesthesia, because he was allergic to it. I can't imagine that. But I do know this, he had a wife, daughter and son and I believe his family was the driving force to keep him kicking. Remember now, he battled cancer for years.

Had to contend with ST twice, once when contracted encephalitis and thought I may end up a vegetable, but fully recovered. Other was returning to work after very serious injuries and end of every shift had full on ST for about two hours or so before they subsided - but was forewarned of this by medico as apparently grief emotions can store up chemicals in your body that once returning to hard work can overwhelm like a flood - only lasted about 6 weeks...

Depends I think on how far you let yourself go down the grief/hopelessness road, and how much you choose to fight to hold on what is good.

"Dead is dead, and when done with grace should be acknowledged with grace."

That's a marvelous sentiment, best wording of my feelings on suicide I've heard.

My friend killed himself jumping in front of a commuter train years ago. While I don't judge anyone for their choice to end things, forcing a horror into another's mind bothers me.
