Re: Hypothetical Moral Question

So if one commits suicide, but the well-being of others is the driving force behind that suicide, then that suicide is not "unrepented of" murder, and therefore, not sinful?


What about old people who kill themselves because they no longer want to be a burden to their spouse or primary caregiver(s)? Are they now safe to kill themselves at will?

They have the good of their loved ones at heart and one less sickly elderly person is one less medical responsibility that tax payers will not have to subsidize.


Maybe that's the key to solving the nation's economic woes-- every person who is a drain to society financially should just kill themselves for the good of the nation!

Can you imagine....
