Chris Parnell: We're sitting here today with film star Natalie Portman.

Natalie Portman: Hello.

Starving is a pleasant form of dying, if you have the means and devices to create an appropriate environment for it. Pleasant, because after a while you are not hungry - your body is in a desperate state of catabolism, but your mind is detached from the inner catastrophe. This shows the wonderful capacity of human adaptation, even on the level of basic needs. Needs have an appropriate timing - an optimal moment to fulfil them. If you miss this opportunity, needs themselves can change.

European Confessions has been launched with the intention to become the most authentic guide to life, travel, work and news from and about Europe
