    Act of suicide is an immoral thing to do, because it kills life. Even if it is one's own life. It is still killing which is the most evil act to commit.

    It is also an evil act in the sense that committing suicide is not just killing one's own life, but also it destroys the world the one has lived in. The moment one kills oneself, the world one belonged to also evaporates with all the people in it and all the memories, and relations one has built in it.

    Therefore all life on earth has a moral duty to carry on until the old age and inevitable natural deaths.

    Moreover, one cannot kill oneself, if one has something or someone one loves. Love is a strong foundation for life to be keep going. Loving can only continue and is possible while one is living.

    Are you a pacifist? Do you think killing is wrong in all situations? War; self defence?

    Yes, it is wrong in all situations. However, the situations force the wrong doings.
    In those special situations, killings can and will happen, which are totally different cases from willful act of the wrong doing.
