Suicide as terminal illness



Determinism suggests that we do not do our will and does a suicide could not avoid.

Suicide is very distressing for those who wanted to suicide and even more painful if we assume that he loved us.

If we had that love, disappointment is a strong understanding that we both really wanted because of having loved and imagined, how it might have been deprived of our company, friendship, life?

By contrast, when someone dies from causes beyond its control, feel pain purer, less suspicious and even venerate more intensely whom death removed him from our side, certainly very reluctantly, he wanted to stay to continue loving but a sad accident deprived him of our existence.

In many cases we have to make a special effort not to openly condemn who kills himself. So great is the effort and many people, when talking to the relatives of the deceased, are encouraged to inquire if you have positive or negative feelings toward him.

All these phenomena occur because popularly believe in free will and do not believe in determinism.

Indeed, the science, which can not give up his belief in free will, is left with the explanation that the bomber is a person who committed a voluntary act responsibly. With the premise of free will is possible to assume that the bomber is actually in reprehensible murderer, even if the victim of the crime has been himself.

Those who disbelieve the free will to believe we are better positioned to suicides are affected by a terminal illness, as effective as any other.

Determinism suggests that we do not do our will and does a suicide could not avoid.
