material self-dismantle
March 14, 2016 at 2:28 pm
Hello everyone ..

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.
