abstract="There are 2 important philosophical traditions discussing the moral problem of suicide. One tradition rejects suicide as an immoral act that is against either an absolute or transcendent order, or against socio-political responsibilities, or against the duties one has to obey with respect to your own individual life. The other tradition argues that a specifically &quot;qualified&quot; suicide is a morally good privilege of human freedom and self-determination. Weighting the pros and cons the debate seems to end in a drawn game, perhaps with little advantages for the position against suicide. In any case, in the end it comes down to the very question whether a human being is still able to experience that it is good that he exists and that it is good to be engaged in this existence or not.<p /> <p>Language: de</p>",
