Your argument makes sense only if mental illness makes you unconscious (hint: it doesn't).

- pc86 5y agoNo, I think you need to reread my statement.
- slver 5y agoYour argument is that suicides are not common when you exclude the common causes. You need a reason to exclude the common causes, a reason that's not "I excluded these because they prove my statement incorrect". And the only valid reason is "I excluded these because they represent people without consciousness, therefore not subject to the current argument about consciousness linked to will for self-preservation". Which is incorrect. Depressed people and so on happen to be conscious. You can't just cherry-pick data and then make general conclusions about the nature of consciousness based upon it.
