I agree. Even in Christianity there are noble suicides when the suicide is performed to do a good.

- anonymouskimmer 3y agoAny time someone knowingly, and with aforethought became a martyr. When death is inevitable but the sacrifice of one's life can save others (or is otherwise to the good). SPOILER FOR THE POSEIDON ADVENTURE: In the movie The Poseidon Adventure one of the survivors sacrifices himself as otherwise they all would have died. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Poseidon_Adventure_(1972_film) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Poseidon_Adventure_(1972_f... > A ruptured pipe releases steam, blocking their escape. Scott rants at God for the survivors' deaths as he leaps across a pool of flaming oil, grabbing onto the burning-hot valve wheel to shut down the steam. Scott tells Rogo to lead the group on before falling to his death. You can argue that instances like this aren't suicide, but this is only true because the deaths were good deaths for a purpose. You may say they aren't suicide, but I'd call them noble suicides.
