Is suicide immoral/cowardly?
For example, I didn't choose to be born, I was brought into this world against my will, how could it possible be immoral for me to end my life?
And in terms of it being cowardice, is a man who dies of cancer a coward? Why is a man who dies from suicide brought on by depression a coward? Both died from diseases one disease physical the other mental.
BTW im not suicidal, I just want to know if anyone has an argument against this.

I think its cowardly but I wouldn't consider it immoral. People without the personal fortitude to plow through their hardships will filter themselves out of the genepool through suicide.
Has nothing to do with morality unless you're a Kantautist.
You're alluding to the real issue though. Most suicide (at least in western countries to my awareness) are caused by mental illness, not some rational or philosophical decision. We need better mental health research and medicine.

>cowardly
I constantly dream about being brave enough to end my life.
Not committing suicide is more embarrassing than anything.
Committing suicide is basically one of the most evil and selfish acts you can do.
You are rejecting the gift of life and also making friends and family suffer because of your actions.
>people bring other people into the world purely out of kindness. It’s a completely selfless act.
Wew
By that logic a sociopath isn't doing anything immoral when he's beating someone who called him an asshole to death...I mean he's mentally ill so it's not his fault.
