She's of the opinion that cowards do it but I disagreed with her because for me I think it takes a hell lot of courage to do it. Though some people think it's a act of cowardice and they all have different reasoning.
What's your take? And why?
It depends, if you push a kid out from in front of a bus and you get killed that is an act of suicide. If you are ending your own terminal illness that too is an act of suicide. I don't think those acts are cowardice.
BUT if you are killing yourself to avoid prosecution raping and murdering a kid, or you commit suicide after murdering your spouse, then no. I do think those acts are cowardice.
But I think what you are talking about is when you are fit, and not under any of those conditions above. I would say if you do it, you still have some underlying mental health issue in any case. It certainly is your own life, even in that case too. So I wouldn't pass judgment calls either way.
