Suicide: An Ethical Delimna

[robvalue]

I have to disagree there.

If we personify evolution, then suicide is just another way to weed out the "unfit".

Further, it's impossible to help or hinder evolution, because evolution is just "whatever happens". Everything we do, or don't do, is just part of evolution.

I think a lot of people assume without any thought that keeping the human race going is important, and good. I totally disagree with this too. It's only good for us. For the planet as a whole and for all its other inhabitants, we are awful. It's just one of the reasons I would never create more humans.

I value animal life as much as human life, as much as I can. (I know this is an impossible ideal to live up to when you consider insect life and so on, but at least with the larger, more intelligent forms of life.) If there's something you wouldn't do to a human, then in general, you shouldn't do it to an animal. Otherwise, were just being bullies and are no better than slave drivers.
