   Some religions view suicide as a sin; and many people, whether   
   religious or not, see suicide as wrong.  In many other situations I   
   would agree with them.   
      
   This is one of those occasions where I hope people put themselves in   
   this chaps situation before making snide remarks from their armchair.   
      
   Kipling wrote about wounded soldiers committing suicide in afganistan   
   rather than being cut to bits by the enemy.  This seems like a similar   
   situation 100 years later.
