VirusPerspective

Though suicide is a personal right and choice, most people that commit it succumb to a fatal lapse in one or more of the VirianVirtues.

When is it reasonable to choose death?

* When you have a incurable degenerative disease (See the case of [Sue Rodriguez|http://www.newsworld.cbc.ca/flashback/1993/])
* Jumping on a hand grenade to save the lives of your fellow troops
* When life has been lived and the cost of survival is high. A great grandmother on life support - though not suffering, may choose death to protect the estate and future generations.
* ?
