But on the other hand that autonomy isn't granted once someone wishes to take their own life. The moment we learn about their urge to die we basically prohibit them from doing so, so we're not that absolute with granting autonomy.

There's also that weird question when you want to start granting that embryo some sort of rights (but that's not a path I'll go down)

So a corpse has more rights over its body than someone who wants to be a corpse :thinking: 10/10 system we live in

Well no wonder they're suicidal, corpses get all these extra rights!
