Description

Suicide: The deliberate self-inflicted ending of one's own life. Can include indirect means, as long as it is primarily intended to end one's own life above all else except fundamental ethical/axiological goals.

Justified: Objectively ethically and/or axiologically warranted. Objectively preferable (or at least equal to alternative(s)) given what is objectively ethical/unethical and/or valuable/"unvaluable".

Note: Con automatically loses the debate if they purposefully copy the arguments I use in my other suicide debate.

I can relate, no worries.

Crap I procrastinated too long.

I'm fine with that, I am an agnostic atheist (as in below 50% but above 0% confident in the existence of God, probably specifically somewhere around 1-5% confident).

If I entered this debate, it would end up being a debate about the existence of God, unless you're also a Christian.
