CrabHelmet Posted December 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 On the free will front: chemistry and physics say that, unless some part of the human brain is magically exempt from all natural laws of the universe, you have never had free will. The only way suicide can be punished is if the one trying to commit suicide fails One problem: there's a perfect defense that has been proven before the trial has even begun. Can't someone name that defense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragnarok1945 Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 then perhaps you'd like to explain who is controlling us since we do not even have independent thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ragnarok1945 Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 yeah but once you're sent to a mental institution they'd be able to tell you're faking it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ragnarok1945 Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 don't they have experts at the institutions for this kind of job? You had to have much experience with it before to have it work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrabHelmet Posted December 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 DEP finally got it. An insanity plea will always work. It has been proven to be true by the mere fact that you attempted to kill yourself. Faking it is not necessary; because you wanted to and tried to end your own life, you are, by definition, not sane. But what on earth is the purpose of having a law that can never convict anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragnarok1945 Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 so get the law changed and start the convicting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~ P O L A R I S ~ Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 They can still enforce 'em if they don't play the insanity plea card. Not to mention if they plea w/insanity they get thrown in a crazyhouse, which ain't much better than jail. Lose, lose situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragnarok1945 Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 that's what I was getting at. You'd rather spend your years in a mental institution instead of your normal life? I doubt it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JesusofChaos™ Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 The man under sentence of death is freer than the man who takes his own life. The Suicide is a coward' date=' he is one that abandons the struggle with fate; the Condemned man, however has the chance to rise above the society which has condemned him and by his courage and intellectual liberation to nullify it. The egotism of suicides with their farewells and resentments is sometimes grotesque, the dignity of a brave man on the Scaffold never. In his words, the precise opposite of the suicide is the man who is condemned to death... The God-like disponibility of the condemned man before whom the prison gates open one day just before dawn, his incredible disinterestedness about everything except the pure flame of life, here I am quite sure that Death and Absurdity are principles which generate the only rational Liberty- that which a human being can experience with body and soul.[/quote'] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
