@lerk@comm.network @ster @iamduck No its not. It serves a functional purpose. Enjoyment, staying cool, saving money on AC, etc. Its not freedom for freedom sake.

@freemo
I genuinely don't believe people should be given the freedom to kill themselves, and I think that whenever sensible we should prevent it.

This stems from an understanding that people who attempt or consider suicide will often but not alway later say they are glad to be alive.

@ster @lerk@comm.network @iamduck I'm not sure that it is morally justifiable to forcably tell someone what they can do with their own body, even if they may be thankful for it later.

As an anology, I'd imagine if you made abortions illegal and adoptions illegal and you forced mothers to give birth and raise a child I suspect the vast majority of mothers considering abortion would be very thankful (as they would have fallen in love with their child eventually in most cases). Despite this fact I dont think it is justification to make abortion illegal under the same reasoning as I dont think suicide should be illegal.
