Do you think people can cease to exist?  And do you think they can do it out of their own will?  But how?

There is zero evidence that such a thing cuul occur. Human will can not force matter to disappear, no matter what charlatan Deepak Chopra might say.

QuoteLook up the dictionary, my dear.

Yes, the dictionary has a definition for 'soul'.

Too bad no one has ever provided evidence that such a thing exists.

Can you?

And if there were a God, I think it very unlikely that He would have such an uneasy vanity as to be offended by those who doubt His existence - Russell

Any human (as any other animal) can cease to exist.  Death is an utterly complete ending of existence.  People can end their lives deliberately.  I  don't think OTHER animals can very well.  Some other animals will fight to death to protect offspring, but that is not quite the same thing.
