- Killing oneself is always suicide. According to Durkheim, a famous sociologist, he states that there are four different types of suicides. The example you mention above would be defined as altruistic suicide because it is killing oneself for the good of others.
Cut:
- although some radical Islamic Mullahs (teachers) claim that if it is committed as part of a religious war, the suicide will be rewarded in Paradise.
Too controversial for such an off-hand reference. Should be more than a subordinate clause. --Ed Poor 11:54, 5 April 2007 (EDT)
