Not much else to add here.

Is suicide permissible if only certain types of people do it? Does it not matter who does it, it's always fine morally? Is it always immoral no matter the situation?

Edit: I'm not suicidal at all, just wondering how you all view the subject from a moral standpoint.

John 15:13 “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends

I'd say there is a difference between altruistic self-sacrifice and suicide.

my point was that a "suicide" can be for noble reasons. .. hard to know a person thoughts...jumping on a grenade to save your platoon is heroic yet still suicide...and human judgment of "why" people do as they do is often flawed... What brings a person to give their life up is ultimately the person they have been created to be at that moment...AS GOD has created them. All things are out, through and for God..He kills and He makes alive... God "judgments" are just..not man's. God brings about all live and all death...ALL give an account for what they do to GOD...not to be eternally punished by HIM BUT to be made a new creation in HIM... we experience evil to know good ..we know good to know the Creator

My point is that it would not be suicide then... And that the two, giving your life for someone else vs taking your life for yourself, are not the same thing. I'm not even commenting on the morality of it. Simply saying they are not the same. That verse refers to only one of those acts.
