X-Message-Number: 16388 From: "George Smith" <> References: <> Subject: On the issue of never choosing death... Date: Wed, 30 May 2001 11:00:09 -0700 Several different individuals have expressed their views on this issue and supported their positions fairly well. The idea that one should NEVER choose to die can be challenged quite effectively by (to paraphrase the BBC lead character in the comedy television series "Black Adder") my taking you into another room for five minutes with THIS pencil! With sufficient applications of physical pain I suspect anyone can be made to beg for death and mean it! I suspect my supposition is true though I have no intention of testing it!
