In Albert Camus’s essay The Myth of Sisyphus, the philosopher says “There is but one truly serious philosophical problem, and that is suicide.” Should a person who wishes to die be allowed to take their own life? This question has vexed humanity since the dawn of civilization, and is the subject of this week’s episode “Death Wish”. This week your humble hosts tackle this question with all the respect and aplomb that it deserv—who are we kidding, we get drunk and talk about how weird Q’s lips look.
The Next Generation: Season 4, Episode 20
