Halit,
The reference I think you are alluding to is in History of Sexuality Volume
1 (WK) pages 138-139. The passage basically argues that as Western Society?s
become bio-political our conception of death shifts (it now being the limit
of power) shifts. In turn, suicide itself changes from being a crime (either
against the sovereign or God) to a phenomena that must be studied or
understood in a bio-political society that is astonished by such a practise.
There might be other comments on sucide and bio-power in variou
articales/interviews but I would have to loook those up.

Hello,
I remember once reading something Foucault wrote on biopower and suicide.
Something that went like "biopolitical cannot tolerate suicide..."
I cannot remember the entire argument.
Does anyone remember such a thing in Foucault (with citations if possible)
Thanks a lot,
Halit Mustafa Tagma
