Is it wrong to do something that only does harm to yourself (eg. suicide, certain sexual sins such as lust or adulterous/homosexual desires, certain instances of stealing, etc.)? Explain why or why not using concepts from the course. (50-100 wrds)
Whether self-harm (including suicide) is inherently wrong depends on your perspective. Deontological ethics (duty-based) might see it as wrong because it violates the duty to preserve life. However, consequentialist ethics (outcome-based) could argue it’s permissible if the harm is purely self-inflicted and doesn’t impact others.
