"....workers were asked to sign a statement promising not to kill themselves and pledging to "treasure their lives".

Read as "You die and you're fired". http://fc03.deviantart.net/images3/i...f_stab_YAY.gif

In China, you have no rights... Not even to kill yourself.

Excessive overtime is routine, despite a legal limit of 36 hours a month. One payslip, seen by the Observer, indicated that the worker had performed 98 hours of overtime in a month.

You do realise that in many countries around the world suicide is illegal and is a criminal offense?

This is all too logical. Apple people have a long history of copying each others, I bet the poor fellas were still on 3GS..

Wiki says
"The Suicide Act 1961 (9 & 10 Eliz.2 c.60) is an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. It decriminalised the act of suicide so that those who failed in the attempt would no longer be prosecuted."

Doesn't matter if anyone has a right to suicide (ethically, I mean; legalities are either in line with an ethic you can logically argue for, or they're just the product of sociological norms and have no meaningful normative merit).

The only right anyone has to stop people from committing suicide is making their conditions better so that they don't feel that life isn't worth living anymore. Failing that, preventing the suicide is effectively proactively contributing to prolonging that person's suffering.
