There was an article in May 2006 of Reader's Digest about a doctor who talked about the cycle of life, about how it's like plants. Old ones die so the new can come up and thrive.

Suicide is only acceptable if you already knew you would die or to save the life of another. It's called sacrifice, and it's justified. In all other cases, however, suicide is selfish and cowardly since the person is only concerned with himself rather than with other people.
