> our very nature as living beings. That might be true but another poster already debunked that apparently. Regardless of the other living beings, you are too quick to dismiss the human side of things, specifically our complex minds and our irrationality regardless of mental fitness. Does the primitive survival instinct kicks in when suiciding? Surely. Can it be outweighed by every single bad instant that a person has lived and what they see coming down their way? I don't see why not, and probably more so if your mind isn't thinking rationally. But I'd argue that none of us are completely rational and so at times even 'healthy' minds can do the unthinkable. I believe our biggest gift - powerful brain, self awareness and other capabilities that contribute to making us unique; is also our biggest curse : "What's my purpose?" "Is there any meaning?" "Why do all my relationships fail?" "Do people really like me?" And so on ... -- My uneducated perspective.
