Excerpt from a piece on WorldNet Daily:

Suicide or euthanasia, under extenuating circumstances had no early philosophical opposition. It was advocated by Pythagoras, Plato, Cicero, Epictetus and Seneca. Suicide was committed by Hannibal, Diogenes, Socrates, Cleopatra and Aristotle, who like Seneca chose the lesser of two evils. It seems foolish to brand all of these leaders as either insane or cowardly.

Hmmm ... I had forgotten that Hannibal committed suicide ... I'm not sure which Diogenes they're talking about ... Socrates is debatable ... Cleopatra yes ... I'm not sure how many people buy the Aristotle suicide thing ... Seneca yes ...
