La muerte no es sólo un acontecimiento orgánico, es un evento colectivo sometido a un juicio moral y a una opinión o mandato de cómo ha de ser la vida.

Esto se observa en cómo, en la estratificada conformación histórica de sociedades y culturas, el suicidio –o «muerte autoinfligida»– se ha ido definiendo en función de una trama de fuerzas que hacen posible lo (in)decible, (im)pensable e (ir)realizable.
