no
does it get results ( and that's what you want ) no....
does it get attention ( though depending on the cause and therelated free publicity )yes..
do poeple remember you doing it, no you a 2 sec sound bite..
now if you somehow managed to strapa 20 kt atomic backpack and threatened to deonate...
is it ethically wrong.. yes
does it get results.. yes ( usally in the form ofa FBI / SWAT / NSA / CIA team killing you )
does it get attention.. yes ( CNN will carry the feed live to the world baby ! )
do people remember you, YES ( you will be a definate footnote in history )
so it all goes to show you that protest is rarely effective at amending the desired change to what ever policy you do not care about if you do it by yourself, but it does get more attentin to some degree depending on what level of commitment you are willing to commit to to prove your point.

How's it ethically wrong if you're only doing it to yourself? As the first person said, it's just stupid.

You have the right to starve yourself for whatever purpose you want. 'Course, when you pass out, someone'll haul your butt up to the psyche ward for trying to commit suicide...

well thast really something you have to ask yourself because its really based on what a person thinks- this question is really a matter of opinion and you will get a million answers based on one's frame of mind.

It isn't wrong at all.
If a person risks themselves, to prove a point, they should be commended.

If you make the decision, that is your decision.
If it is made for you, it is wrong

No, but it won't help your argument, so why bother?
