To me, well, it truly depends on the situation. A former 7th grade biology teacher of mine--and literally thousands of other youngsters over the years-- in an International school overseas took his life after dozens of women came forward to detail being raped and molested by him as children in his care over a period of more than 30 years as trusted teacher. The victims were aged between 11 and 15 at the time of their abuse. That animal taking his own life as the authorities began the process of bringing hundreds of charges against him, an admitted sex crimina and serial predator wasn't chickenshyt? To me, anyway, that's exactly what it was. A final cowardly act. YMMV
