Suicide

Is suicide morally wrong? Or is it okay?

David Hume, writing in 1755 (not published until 1777, the year after his death), thought suicide was fine. Firstly he thought, cosmically, human life has no inherent significance:
>But the life of a man is of no greater importance to the universe than that of an oyster.
He also thought that the idea that you should stick around just to serve others, i.e. just to work for somebody, just to raise taxes, was bollocks:
>Why then should I prolong a miserable existence because of some frivolous advantage which the public may perhaps receive from me?

Was he right?
