I personally would say that it is, but that is a function of my religious sensibilities. Man is made in God’s image, if you kill yourself you are destroying that image. Besides, to kill oneself means that you have given up all hope, and there is always hope.
A counterargument often put forward is that “its my life, surely I can choose to end it”, but I would argue that your life is not your own. Life is a gift that is given to you, to end it implies a despisement of that gift.
the your life is not your own statement I dont agree with. You may or may not have been given your life as a gift, but you do in fact own your own life. That argument sets up all kinds of stuff about well...my God says you should do this with you life...or I can enslave you because you dont own your own life.
