Suicide is not immoral (but it is also not moral).

When it is the outcome of mental illness, it is dying of what, sadly, has turned out to be a te
rminal sickness – much like death caused by any physical illness you can think of.

There are two reason why it is immoral to some people and moral to other, it is because of
the Many religions, including Christianity, Judaism, and Islam, have traditionally associated
suicide with "going to hell." Suicide is frowned upon by several religions, including
Hinduism and Buddhism. Suicide is frowned upon because it is considered as a rejection of
the creator's gift of life, as well as a violation of the commandment "thou shalt not murder"
(for Christianity and Islam). Buddhism, on the other hand, often views suicide as
exacerbating one's suffering and sentencing the individual to a life that is worse than the
one they left.

Suicide is frequently viewed as a terrible and premature end to one's life outside of
religion. The majority of suicides are motivated by desperation and extreme, prolonged
agony and suffering. Families and friends of the deceased are frequently left wondering
what they could have done better to assist the victim. They may not regard suicide as
"unethical" or "immoral," but rather as a regrettable choice with terrible consequences.

Some countries have made assisted suicide legal if the person has a terminal, incurable
ailment that has drastically reduced their quality of life and can give informed consent.
Suicide would not be regarded unethical in certain circumstances.

Kant argues that humans should follow the categorical imperative. People should behave

in such a way that their actions:

1.Anyone in those situation could execute it.

2.Do not regard humans as a means to an end rather than an end in themselves.

3.It would take place in the universal kingdom of ends.

Any action, according to Kant, should be able to pass these three tests. Can suicide pass
these three litmus tests? To begin with, if everyone who was suffering from, say,
depression or challenges opted to commit suicide, we would have severe issues. In fact,
there are no circumstances in which suicide is universal.
Suicide and the second formulation are a little trickier. Kant would argue that killing oneself
involves treating oneself as a means rather than an aim in itself. Because killing oneself
means depriving yourself of any further goals. It also violates your obligations to others —
your family, friends, and so on — which Kant considers intolerable.

Finally, in the global realm of ends, suicide could not exist. This is fairly obvious. No one
could commit suicide in the universal kingdom of ends, because everyone is acting in line
with the demands of the categorical imperative. As living beings, we have responsibilities,
and committing suicide means irrevocably abandoning them.
