well how could they feel like it in the first place? a primary uncontrollable function of the brain is self preservation. if you kill yourself you are going against the brain.
So logically we are missing something.

but it should be unnatural if were to assume that the brain is in the drivers seat.
so is the body and the brain in control or am I?
who is the "I" that dreams when your body goes to sleep at night? where do you go?
are you the brain or do you have a brain?
what is even the functional value of killing ones self?
it doesn't benefit you or the tribe.
how could you possibly override the physiological effects of starving yourself if you didn't have a free will?

"well i was an atheist during 90% of my out of body experiences. i was absolutely sure that psychical reality was all there was and i had no soul. didnt stop me from waking up above my sleeping body and assuming i had died. nor did it stop me from having a conversation with what people would describe as angels."
Yet you conversed with what you perceived to be angels, that's interesting and again worth of a thread on its own.
