I've always been interested in the topic of suicidology, so I'm keen to hear others' opinions on the topic, too.
Have you ever considered suicide, or even attempted it? If you did attempt it, did you regret it mid-attempt? Most of those who attempt suicide say they feel instant regret the second they "kick the stool," so to speak.
Do you think suicide is selfish? If so, do you think there's ever an acceptable use of suicide (i.e. terminal illness via euthanasia)?
Do you think you go to Purgatory or a form of Purgatory (if you're not Catholic) when you die by your own hand? Some say they believe you go to a limbo stasis when you commit suicide. Whether that's true or not, I'm not sure.
A good book about the topic - if you are interested in it - is Night Falls Fast by Kay Redfield Jamison. It's actually how I found out about Sylvia Plath, and I have since collected her entire bibliography (collected poems, The Bell Jar, her journals, her letters).
