??? Who in their right mind thinks the law determines what is moral? Was slavery moral because it was legal?

Singapore: no mask = prison sentence
- Thread starter sun rise

Then it's the threats and abuse that's the problem here, not the mask.Don't be absurd. It is exposing innocent people to possible infection. It's like drunk driving or smoking in a confined space. And in any case, the reason for his prison sentence is largely due to his threats and abuse.
If you "tell someone about Jesus"[excuse me while I throw up] in KSA, and then threaten to punch a Saudi policeman who objects, what can you expect?
Jesus makes you want to vomit? Some "Catholic" you are.

Afterlife punishment?
I beg your pardon? Apart from the obvious fact that any not revocable afterlife is sufficient punishment for someone who committed suicide, I don't know what you mean. Do you think countries make something like suicide illegal, and delegate the punishment to a metaphysical judge?

Its quit simple...
Its against the law to commit suicide. However if one does commit suicide they cannot punish them for breaking the law unless its done in a afterlife. So the law is pretty pointless.
Not necessarily. They might punish failed attempts of suicide. Which in my opinion is just pure evil.

But the law is "suicide is illegal". Its not suicide if they don't die.

From the link I posted in post #30.
8. Annoying someone with a musical instrument or singing in public
Punishment: Up to 3 months in prison.
So its better to go maskless on the bus than to sing on the bus.
I'm missing where I argued that.
But if you're suggesting...as you seem to be...that civil disobedience in the name of 'morality' is the purview of 'traditional conservatives' you're going to need to explain what a traditional conservative is in your terms, and what a traditional liberal/progressive is.
Sounds like jingoism to me.
1) it's a stupid law.
2) it's not pointless, as it allows any assisting/failing to act around suicide/euthanasia to be charged
Stupid, but not without point, as per my previous post.
So, who is accountable? The one performing suicide, or the one helping her in that?

If you asking me to support the law, I'm not.
But with any law (at least in countries I've lived in) it's not only the perpetrator of a crime impacted by a law.
If another citizen assists in the perpetration of a crime, they can then be held accountable for that crime.
In short, it's not one or the other. It's both. With ANY law.

Suicide is death caused by injuring oneself with the intent to die.
Technically if one has help, it isnt suicide, but might be murder.
I'm really not sure what we're talking about at this point.
But...if I kill myself deliberately with drugs someone has helped me procure for that purpose, they're assisting my suicide. Not murdering me.
If they stand by while I kill myself and neither leave, not seek assistance, then again, this is suicide, not murder.
