The discussion revolves around the complex and sensitive topic of suicide as a potential fundamental right of individuals. Participants express differing views on whether suicide is a personal right or an act that negatively impacts family and society. Some argue that suicide can be seen as a selfish act, depriving loved ones and the community of the individual's presence, while others contend that societal pressures and circumstances often lead individuals to consider this option. The conversation also touches on the moral implications of suicide, with some suggesting that it should be illegal due to its potential harm to the community, while others advocate for the right to choose, emphasizing personal autonomy and the need for societal support for those struggling with mental health issues. The debate highlights the tension between individual rights and societal responsibilities, questioning the ethics of intervening in a person's choice to end their life. Ultimately, the discussion underscores the complexity of suicide as an issue that intertwines personal suffering, societal expectations, and the moral obligations of both individuals and communities.

I know, find the TOE, that should keep you busy :biggrin:

Funny you should mention that. It is one of the ways I spend some of my time.

I have been considering various conceptual frameworks for a TOE for many years now. I am on at least my tenth iteration. (without any of the real heavy math)
