The view that we owe our existence to other people is abhorrent. Besides, we don’t legislate against ghosting, which would have similar effects.

  That view exists, but that's not at all what I'm expressing. The idea in this thread is that people experiencing /temporary/ suicidal ideation and go through with it won't care afterwards and therefore it's not an actual problem. I'm pointing out the most obvious flaw with this conclusion.

    It’s not temporary if they follow through. Read some Camus and meditate on relativity’s reach; can’t ever know the abstract signals others feel. We’re not made of philosophy but mush and go propagating electricity. Is it temporary if they stick around or are they role-playing? You can’t ever actually know. Just argue rhetorical positions in symbolic logic. Not the same as being anyone else. There’s no “flaw” as there’s no “one true symbolic rhetorical argument” to rule them all. Suggesting there’s a flaw implies there is.

      > Read some Camus and meditate on relativity’s reach Grow up. People dying has impacts on the world. Ignore them, decry the immorality of it all, or bury your head in Camus if you like.. it doesn't magically dispell any of it.
