abstract="The commentaries by Feldman and Leenaars are less than persuasive, insofar as they are grounded in an arbitrary and potentially inappropriate advocacy of communal rather than individual values; in unproven assumptions about the constricted and illogical reasoning of suicidal persons; in an implicit equation of their acts with &quot;sins&quot;; and/or in a failure to recognize that the acceptance of suicide can sometimes be a compassionate response to intolerable &quot;psychache.&quot; In contrast, I continue to assert that it is unfair to impose restrictions and moral judgments on death-choices when they are not imposed upon life-choices that also carry the risk of emotional harm to others.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
