Thanks for sharing!! Haven't read it but just downloaded and skimmed through the first few pages, seems like a good read :). Will probably go through it later.
Made me think of https://anonfiles.com/Teoa7bp6vf/Hume_David_-_On_Suicide_epub
It's an essay by empiricist philosopher David Hume expressing his "pro-choice" stance, very progressive for his time.

I love how Hume explains how Suicide isn't a transgression of our duty to God
