What Would You Say to a Person on the Roof?
Question
What is the Rabbi’s opinion regarding Professor Avshalom Elitzur’s position, and what would the Rabbi say to a person who wants to commit suicide? Thanks in advance, and have a satisfying evening.
Answer
Is this a quiz? How am I supposed to know what Elitzur thinks?
I don’t have anything special to add here. That’s a job for a psychologist. Philosophically, I have nothing to say to him.
