freedom to kill yourself

Only an illusion of freedom. If one's mind is set on suicide, one must have concluded all the other options are worse than death. That being the case, death becomes the solitary and only choice, and hence cannot be a choice at all. Therefore it is not 'freedom' to choose. :twisted:

But that is all freedoms-to choose the best that the other options are not.

C_steam · 13-06-2007, 09:44 PM

Yes, but at least they are options. To the mind of a suicide, they aren't.

No !!

Quite the opposite. He's enough to make anyone give it all up.

Officials are considering what measures they can take to stop people using the Humber Bridge for suicide attempts.

That's easy:
Build a jumping off platform at the most popular position, charge £15 a go plus 50% VAT and declare that half the proceeds are going to Tony Bliar's retirement fund and the other half towards the cost of building a mega-mosque in Hull for 100,000 'worshippers'.

That should stop it i

And you would know this runs through the mind of everyone who has tried to commit/successfully committed suicide?

C_steam · 14-06-2007, 11:40 AM

Can't confirm. I've not discussed this with any succesful suicides.

Robin · 14-06-2007, 06:05 PM

The alternative to commiting suicide is not commiting suicide.

That is a choice.

See someone about to jump, grab them and throw them off then it's not suicide... Oh... Wait.
