Too many. That's one of the reasons I'd be against it being an absolute thing -- I don't think that a person's identity is represented by a temporary state of mind. If they're not allowed to do that and they feel better weeks, months or years down the line and they gratefully say to themselves "Thank fuck I wasn't allowed to die, I am so glad that that temporary state of mind wasn't considered to represent the whole of me", or something to that effect, it's that kind of thing that makes me think.

I think that the "remembering self" is at least as important as the "experiencing self", how we feel in one given moment doesn't represent who we are.
