I was talking about the improbability of your death as a result of my punching myself, not the improbability of my death. My point is that punching myself only hurts myself so I am not violating someone elses rights if I do it.

I don't want to misunderstand you. PLease help me be sure I understand. Yes, you were not talking about the improbability of your death, right? OK, I think I understand you. We were like two ships passing in the night! LOL! I wasn't talking about the improbability of your own death, either! Isn't it worth noting how misunderstandings can occur?

I was talking about whether YOU had the RIGHT to abuse your body in any way that might cause your death, or simply might cause you to be at risk of death, as a result of a free decision you made. Remember, this started earlier today when I asked you if you had rights to your own body.
