Explain why Kant would conclude that these attempts were wrong.

Case of Elizabeth Bouvia: Is Kant right that Bouvia’s repeated atttempts at starvation wrong? 1. Provide a brief overview of the case not assuming the reader is familiar. 2. Explain why Kant would conclude that these attempts were wrong. It’s not enough to note that Kant thinks suicide is wrong. Instead, you must explain why he comes to this conclusion. Include an explanation of key concepts, ideas, or principles like the categorical imperative, persons, reason, inclination, etc. 3. Provide a rigorous evaluation of the Kantian argument for why Bouvia’s repeated attempts at starvation were wrong. Consider an objection to the claim that Bouvia’s attempts were wrong. Assess the strengths and weaknesses of the objection.

I wish to support a thesis that it is wrong, thus Kant is correct. She clearly showed ambivalence, and placed caregivers in an untenable situation.
