Is it? I'm not so sure about that. But I totally agree, a liberal society should make suicide legally accessible.
- jelliclesfarm 8y agoCan you explain why you feel that our bodies and lives cannot be considered as our property? Bodies are properties. Our organs can also be considered our property. On a slightly meta physical/‘woo’ level, do we own our souls? That’s an entirely different topic, I guess..
- blastbeat 8y agoIt's one thing to have property, and another to have control over it. Also, there are enough examples for people, whose bodies are literally owned by somebody else (and enough examples for societies/structures, which tolerate, let alone promote all kinds of slaveries).
- jelliclesfarm 8y agoRight. That’s true. Is a fetus property? Are pets property? Women used to be property. Children? Are thoughts property? Bodily fluids, organs and DNA can all be deemed property and can be ‘owned’. Possession is not ownership. So hypothetically..how can we make a case that our bodies are our properties? Legally speaking? How does one prove ownership?
