The Morality Of Suicide

Thankfully, the majority of humans agree that murder is morally incorrect.  Our society is only able to exist because of this fundamental belief.  Naturally, we all have an interest in determining what is right and what is wrong regarding killing.  I believe that murder is always morally incorrect.  However, there are instances when killing is the morally correct option.  Although suicide is a tragic option that should be avoided it is not morally incorrect for a person to kill himself.  However, it is our duty as sane members of society, to prevent our fellow members from harming themselves while not in their right mind.  None of us would hesitate to save a drunk friend who was contemplating suicide.  But, if the act is coldly calculated and rationally decided then I believe that it should neither be looked down upon nor illegal.  No one should be trapped in life, stuck as a convict is in prison.  The only exit should not be locked and barred.  Nevertheless, if we are to allow suicide, we must ensure that has been well thought out, (one might even say premeditated) and is not a spur of the moment decision.
