the right to hurt oneself
Mar. 21st, 2001 09:27 amWhere does our responsibility to our friends and loved ones end?
If someone is engaged in behavior that is harmful to him, is it our responsibility to try to persuade him not to continue? Is it none of our business? If someone kills himself, is that none of our business?
How far does one go? Is it enough just to make him aware of the detrimental effects, or should one try to actively dissuade him? Does one have any right to bring it up in the first place?
