Speaking as a follower of Christ, I say no, for suicide is the only sin for which there is no possibility of forgiveness. But I am powerless to prevent folks from killing themselves. I would suggest, however, if the US society were to take if's and but's out of the equation that fewer people would take their own lives, but this is supostion, since we still continue to send the message that killing, other than in self defense, is under the right conditions, just fine.
