Venting Is suicide moral or immoral?

[doneforlife]

Yeah I guess these don't quite fall under depression.

There are suicides due to narcissistic abuse, childhood trauma, bullying, victim of a crime like rape or something like being backed into a corner in life that one finds unacceptable like damage from psychiatric treatment or drugs. I do not think these are immoral in any way. These suicides are the saddest to me but denying the relief of suicide because it abstractly lets the bad guys "win" is immoral.

I tend to fall back on morally neutral aka amoral. I find the morality question falls more on the society.

It is immoral to restrain all agency of a person to be able to ctb in a safe and painless manner.
It is immoral to implicitly censor discussion about suicide on threat of involuntary commitment.
It is immoral to for religious people to shame families and friends of suiciders and set cultural and medical norms which enable the immoralities of the two points above.

Another wonderful analysis ! I think as society, we pretend to care rather than actually care. Also, how moral/ ethical is it that people making laws on euthanasia are privileged, able bodied people..
