John, when I think about how awful were the last 3 years of my step Dad's life, and more than once he expressed the wish to be dead, I think suicide is sometimes the right thing to do. I think unnecessary suffering is morally wrong.

Bhairitu,
You've raised a good question. But it is considered a higher principle that the end does not justify the means. In other words, one must act licitly to make a moral act. You cannot kill another person or group of persons in order to obtain political power--which we can see the evil effects that are happening in Iraq and Syria. Similarly, the same principle applies to taking one's own life. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <noozguru@...> wrote : If you were suffering from terminalbrain cancer would you really want to see it through to the end asyour mind, vision, hearing went away?
