Since you can choose to kill yourself, by corollary you also have the choice to be here.
how do you know that that idea did not stem from a movie you saw?
That implies that you writing comments on this thread, and existing in human form, is a choice.
nop. it is an outcome of a series of events. in the same way i have no choice a the rate my hair grows.
Choice implies free will.
choice is a random variable that remains to be picked up. If i present two choice you have two. if present 10 you have 10. the environment dictates what choices are available and what not
I don't. That doesn't change that the choice still exists.
The choice to live is an inherent right of being a human, which is different than your conditioned DNA that determines the rate at which your hair grows.
That being said I'm not under the impression that as people realize their choice, the choice to change our rate of hair growth will become more readily available by changing our DNA through choice - like Breatharians.
If you give me 10 choices I still have infinite choices as I'm not bound by your perceived number of choices.

influence means that it is not your choice. now imagine that everything you do since birth is the result of trillions of small influences, gradually expressed into given actions from which none of them are truly yours.
