“Self-murder, the pretended heroism but real cowardice of the Stoic philosophers who destroyed themselves to avoid those evils which they had not fortitude to endure, though the attempting it seems countenanced by the civil laws, yet it was punished by Athenian law with cutting off the hand that committed the desperate deed. … A felo de se, therefore, is he that de-liberately puts an end to his own existence, &c.”Google Scholar
