Example: I believe that IP is a direct contradiction of nature, sacrificing the advancement of humanity and the world for selfish gain, and therefore is sinful.

    Everyone dies eventually, so the distinction in my mind isn’t so much the how, though obviously does change, but the when.

    If you take the stance that deciding to die is okay if you know you won’t live past a certain time period, then you either need to arbitrarily definite a cut off time period for how long until death is certain a person can do this, or simply decide that anyone can do that whenever, because death is already certain given a sufficient time interval.

    If you don’t, then information that someone’s death is imminent doesn’t really change that.

      Yes, that’s technically true, but maybe not in the way you think.

      Everyone dies from something. While yes, as you get older it’s harder to overcome things that seemed trivial when you were younger, in theory you could continue living indefinitely until something kills you. It’s just statistically very unlikely.
