Society has limits on what an adult can and cannot do. Go try to own a nuclear weapon and see what happens.
From drugs we put in our bodies to what pets we can own. We as a western society have decided there are limits on what even adults are allowed to do.
The line is where we argue.
Tia is a different league. Here was a woman that was in a terrible state not known for good choices or good longer term decision making.
Add on to that she is on anti depressants that are known to cause suicidal ideation.
This is not a platform for a sound choice.
- BrandoElFollito 4y agoJJ Rousseau said that an individual freedom stops when it threatens the freedom of others. So having a nuclear weapon is not allowed because you can hurt me. To some extend drugs may not be allowed because at the end of the day it is the general population that will have to pay for it. Anything else, including the ability to kill yourself or have someone kill you is up to the individual. Not allowing this is crel and patronising. Worse: people who want to kill themselves will do that in a painful or incomplete way and suffer even more. As for your last comment: this is the gray area we can argue. I am in favour of letting people choose freely but I can understand that temporary states may lead to a decision which is ultimately not good for the individual. This is very difficult to quantify, though. The good thing, though, is that one you are dead, you are dead. It is not like you tell yourself that it was a bad decision.
