    You really don’t want to have policy be swayed by suicides. It encourages more people to kill themselves.

        Yes I do.

        Then you’re letting sentiment drive you rather than reason.

        And just to be really fucking clear: I’m against the genocide that is being inflicted on the people of Gaza. But I refuse to allow that someone’s opinion should be given more weight than mine just because they mutilate or kill themselves. Their mental disorder doesn’t confer moral superiority, it detracts from it.
