> Sacrifice is hardly the same thing as suicide.
If cutting off pieces of your own flesh and putting them in the mouth of a
tigress in order to give her enough strength to devour you is not suicide,
then kamikaze pilots were not committing an act of suicide, suicide bombers
are not committing acts of suicide, etc., because they are dying for a noble
"cause."
Ridiculous.
