Taboos about suicide play a needed role???

Posted by jay on November 18, 2003, at 7:18:28

I know this is a heavy topic...and I am sorry if it causes distress. I was just thinking, though, that maybe the Taboos against suicide play a role in our evolution, causing us to carry on instead of surrender to defeat? I am not trying to argue the 'value' of suicide, and am not vehemently pro or against it, but just saying that the general societal Taboos might be selective values passed on through evolution. Again, I am not arguing how 'bad' or 'good' the concept of suicide is, so please keep that in mind. What do you guys think?
