If self determination is at all important to you, self destruction must be protected. What else is it if not the absolute culmination of self determination. As long as I do not harm others, where is the harm to society if I engage in behavior detrimental to myself?
How do you define harm? Because I could find arguments to make things you've never thought were harmful as harmful. And harmful to whom? To which class of people? Is it merely physical harm that counts? What about psychological damage?
I'll go with material harm since that's easiest to prove in a court of law.
We've had this argument before re. assisted suicide and the right to die, so I don't expect to agree with you.
