Suicide doesn't help evolution. If you have bad genes, you die before you can reproduce, or your children do. If you and your children survive, those were good genes. You don't have to do anything to manage evolution, it takes care of itself by its own.

I disagree. With a high sex drive, it's probable that I would reproduce eventually, risking passing on my genes. Suicide ensures that procreation won't occur.
