Justified Suicide

There is a Guantanamo Bay like facility, that has a bed with my name on it guaranteed, along with 1 million natural born americans in and outside my country. We are all on the government watch list and we are all indeed guilty, of exercising our inalienable right to freedom of speech. Somewhere along the way that became terrorist activity, at least that's what The Patriot Act has led everyone to believe. If the rest of my life is to be spent in such an environment where enhanced interrogation is practiced like some sort of religion, and where I'd be subject to any kind of horrid experimentation, you better believe that I will kill myself at the first opportune moment. Sometimes suicide is the only option, and in such a scenario like the above warrants justification.

Billy I discussed this same topic with my brother. I am on the list as well. I asked im if I could do that under the circumstances, and if that would prevent me from going to heaven if I committed suicide, if I new I was going to be tortured. He told me God is the ultimate judge but he said God gave us life he is the only one that ca take it away.
