3/21 Dear Mormons, what do you think about assisted suicide? Curious.
\_ -5 Flamebait
\_ no, seriously, I want to know how jrleek and emarkp think if
they're trapped in their own body without any freedom to do
what they want. Do they agree with "Give me freedom or give
me death", or do they agree with "Jesus trapped me in my own
body for a reason, god bless"?
\_ Do what they want? Vegetable people don't "want" anything.
Their primitive life functions just tick away without
an active consciousness. The whole fact of people's
personalities and consciousness being altered by physical
brain changes isn't really compatible with religious
notions of the soul, I think. One could argue the woman's
soul is gone. But what if in a different case she merely
became a retard? How would that be interpreted... perhaps
the soul is there but the body too damaged to express the
soul's desires? But some people are born retarded. Or
merely become a bit thick from eating lead paint chips
as a child. |
