children have bodily autonomy to do harmful things

at the sane time id stop one from suicide in the moment, which is a denial of bodily autonomy

is there a resolution to this contradiction

@cummies I don't think I could stop anyone from killing themselves. I would be like Picard, and I would solemnly respect their bodily autonomy but I wouldn't give up without a sincere debate, arguments must be made, I'll speak my peace and even beg, but I wouldn't physically intervene against their will. If someone has cancer and wants to die, but I force them alive, that's wrong. Who's to say one pain is worth more or less, if living is so painful for them that they decide to die, who am I to force them to suffer more?
