Hypothetical Moral Question

[Aquila]

Soldiers have often taken up roles that were essentially suicide to increase the likelihood of mission accomplishment.

I'm reminded of a story about a nuclear physicist. While in the lab a piece of radio active material was suddenly exposed. To protect the group he grabbed it and isolated it fully knowing that the radiation he's absorb would kill him. He later died of radiation poisoning and cancer. But he saved the lives of his colleagues.

Jesus would be the primary example of one who willingly died to save others.

I don't think it's "suicide" in the sense that we understand it.
