If, in your opinion, suicide can never be justified on psychological reasons (e.g.: you're depressed, or your family has died, or something like that) can it be justified on physical ones, like you have an incurable disease (something quite common these days with AIDS and all) or you have a physical handicap? (I know that these two cases are not the same). Just asking... Simson
