quick question ...


Given that: a human being is only a collection of matter

Then what does it mean to say that it is bad for this collection of matter to dismantle itself? i.e. what is commonly referred to as committing suicide.

Imagine a group of arranged molecules ...
then there is no meaning in saying that the molecules as a group are good, but the molecules separated into their parts are bad.

What do you guys think?

Thanks.

We are basically water held loosely together before that we were the hearts of stars. Looked at like, that interrupting the processes of your life looks pretty small. But in the time we have we form bonds with others and I for one would not want to cause pain to the small group of people who would miss me, also I quite like pizza.



You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
