I disagree. I think suicide is a very rational choice in many situations. In fact, there are too many situations where it is a rational choice to even come close to listing them all. A few off the top of my head would be:
1. If a person is dying of cancer with no known cure and medical costs are hurting the dying's family's future, that's a helluva rational choice in my opinion.
2. If a man is facing an imminent and lengthy jail sentence and is claustrophobic, suicide is perfectly rational.
If a man is in a situation where he foresees no way out for a lengthy period and chooses not to be in that situation, suicide is a perfectly rational choice.
