Perhaps it is arguably a cultural support of the action, but the reason
for the support is confucian. The state, the family, then the individual.
but of course no religion / philosophy can make suicide a central
concept. It always has to be for something, buddhist burnings, hari-kari
etc. Otherwise the population of believers wouldn't last long.

There ya go :) But this is different from the "suicide from despair" that
Seymour committed. I think in Confucianism this would be condemned as an
escape from duty.
