The sad state of modern bioethics

In my bioethics class, we often read texts by secular bioethics scholars in order to get a sense for what the other side believes. Here's an impressive quote from one of them:

"Traditional Attitudes: No pejorative taint attaches to the act [of suicide] either here [2 Sam. 17-23] or at any other place in the Hebrew Bible where suicide is described. A similar account holds for the Christian scriptures… [they] do not support a prohibition on voluntary death." - Brian Stoffell

Anyone care to refute his claim? The combox is open...
