Reply To: Is An Amalekite Allowed to Commit Suicide?

Just like you are not allowed to make yourself bleed so are the goim

Exactly where does it say that you are not allowed to cause yourself to bleed? I know of a prohibition against causing your parents to bleed, and I’m aware of a prohibition regarding drawing blood on Shabbos, but I’m not aware of any such prohibition regarding oneself during the week.

I guess this just proves again that I’m a horrible sinner. When I try to remove a splinter, I sometimes draw some blood. Likewise it occasionally happens when I brush my teeth or pop a pimple or the like. I guess this is just a further sign that I’m a horrible sinner.
