Thanks for this video! I'm reading his article currently, and my professor even confirmed today by email that it's difficult to exactly get his point so thanks for clarifying :)
Nice video thanks! :) I came across this because I was wondering whether kantian ethics would allow for suicidal self-sacrifice (which is different from your subject here given that this is a suicide in which the person _does_ value themselves, especially because they can autonomously kill themselves for achieve their goal - which is a rational decision). A further difficulty is justifying self-sacrificial suicide as being universalizable (the first formulation of the categorical imperative).
Why should I care what others think when they don't care enough to help me with my severe pain and loneliness and I have no quality of life? It should be legal for us to buy nembutal and end it! It's my life! I didn't ask to be born or suffer just for others to be satisfied...my adult kids will benefit from my death.
