    In my opinion, and in the Catholic religon, it is wrong. By my religion, you go straight to hell if you kill yourself, and there is really no turning back. However, let's put this question into a context of sorts.

    You're in a room and your killer is going to kill you in the most gruesome and painful way imaginable. You will be medically treated with whatever is available to live a total of 5 or more days under extreme pain, then you would die. Next to you is a button that kills yourself within a second. Which would you choose?

    This still brings in other arguments on whether to or to not commit suicide. If you do, and you interpret the bible literally, then the 5 days of pain would be better than an eternity of pain. If you interpret it like i do, which is basically the median between literal interpretation and figurative interpretation, then i still would not commit suicide as, like djuchenna said, if you believe Jesus died for you you should have no reason to commit suicide.

    Then again, if you're an atheist, think about the effects on those you know. After that, decide on whther or not you want to kill yourself.

    • I am also Catholic. And you do not go to hell. Because usually the person that kills themselves are not in their right mind. They are in pain emotionally or physically . And God isn't so tyrant or like us who see things in black or white. Maybe at the last moment God embraces them and says. Its over and I love you and understand. To commit any sin including suicide you have to be in your right mind and plan it. And even then say I know its wrong and I'm going to go to hell. But I don't care. Look it up in the CATHOLIC CATECHISM and you will see I am telling you the truth. Hope this was useful.
