if you're a captured spy and you're being tortured, and you know you're going to spill the beans about other spies who will then be captured and killed, is it morally permissible to commit suicide to prevent leakage of information to save the lives of those other peeps?

You are allowed to take a life to save a life. I suppose you could include yourself in that equation.
