Abstract

Suicide, as a highly controversial issue, has yet to gain legitimacy and moral justifiability. This issue is still worth discussing due to different personal preferences and their influences. The author will mainly focus on the definition of suicide and defend the idea that suicide is morally right in some circumstances. The author’s research method is theoretical, including literature review and philosophical reasoning, and also provides arguments and definition of hypotheses. The author might gives a possible but relatively reasonable definition of suicide behaviour, and discuss the correctness of suicide behaviour through argumentation.
