Friday, november 10, 2017 treating others as fair: treat you as an end in yourself because you are no di erent than me both humans, fairness is the key consistency. 249 treating someone as an end to themselves, it is to treat them with respect and dignity: suicide perfect duty case 1. Wouldn"t it be an autonomous act to end your life if you are su ering? and kant saying no is coercing you and taking away someone"s autonomy for saying that you can"t commit suicide (trammel arguing against this point) Wants are not you and have to protect your autonomy which is you. Similar to the suicide case can"t enslave someone else therefore, can"t enslave yourself. Autonomy is the seed of authority/agency and so if you enslave yourself you are actually giving up your agency giving up you.
