One last thing before I make a rational point.
What the Hell was so great about the last Samurai !? If I were Japanese, I'd be infuriated! The movie made no sense whatsoever! The hero's (who wasn't Japanese, oddly enough, nor a Samurai) very mission made little (he hates his boss for doing his duty, but feels an affinity with the Samurai he killed for doing his duty.. what the..?) sense, and in the end, Led to an irrational loss of life, that benefited nobody, except the Box Office. Enough already!
OK! now, I agree, If you die to save another persons life, people will be grateful for you, but the truth is, you cannot put a price on life! No life is more (or less) valuable than another. The reckless disregard for human life I see in my generation is very worrying indeed.
Suicide is not the answer, though I am glad that some people have developed their own opinions. (Do what works, my parents always say)
However, as much as both sides argue, there will be no end to this debate. Why? because in the end, it all breaks down to your personal values and beliefs, which 1. Cannot be discussed here, and 2. Will never ever be able to be conclusivly approved/disproved.
