The debate about slavery was settled a long time ago, but if we were to reconsider the issue today, I would agree with abolitionists that to treat people as slaves merely because they have a different skin color than you do is a very extreme injustice; all people deserve to have basic human rights, and to be respected as human beings. Slavery is based on a "might makes right" form of morality, by which any person could enslave any other person who is weaker than he is, as long as the slave master has greater capacity for violence than the slave, but then no one is safe, if that is the morality upon which we operate, because there could always be someone stronger or more violent than you, and you too could be enslaved.

Is there a convincing argument against suicide?
There are many varying opinions on this. Personally I believe there are many convincing arguments against suicide. I am not religious so i will leave those arguments for someone else. The most convincing argument I can think of is that when things are bad or when life is bad they/it almost always get better. When someone is depressed they have trouble realizing that and feel it will never get better. There are certain cases, most of them with terminal illness or with someone who has permanently lost control or function of their body that make this argument harder to argue.
