What's your view on suicide?

In the movie 7 Pounds Will Smith feels responsible for causing a car accident that cost 7 people their lives. He decides to put an end to his life but not before he chooses 7 people to donate his organs to and save their lives. If you take your life away in order to give life to another person isn't it an act of sacrifice similar to Jesus' crucifiction to save mankind from its sins? Why is the right to end one's life only God's privilege and a sin when humans do it? Shouldn't suicide in order to save other people's lives considered a deeply religious act precisely because it's an act of sacrifice?
