Can anyone explain how starvation can be so terrible that it drives some people to infanticide, while others can go on a voluntary hunger strike until they die? Are the people on hunger strike not facing the same psychological distress because they know they have agency? Or is it actually an extreme feat of willpower and those who inflict it on themselves are in a tiny minority of self-determination?
