Nobody asks to be brought into this world. You should be allowed to determine when you've had enough.

No. You stay. Suffer alongside us. No one clocks out early.

Then my life goal is to make my continued existence your daily problem.

Then where? Not like you can walk into a funeral home and be like "Yep, I'm done, I'll take your deluxe 'End it now' package please"

[–] humorlessrepost@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

You can in some countries.

[–] Eheran@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Do you know a place that is not public...?

We could change the laws and allow this.

No one is stopping you from trying this.

Whether out in public or in private is better, depends on context.

Although it's probably a bit beyond social media debate. When it comes down to "seeing a strangers body floating in the river" , "finding your sibling hanging in the next room" or "found at a kindergarten playground".

spoilerAll of those examples are based on real life acquaintances who ended their lives, and their discovery. And to be clear: The kindergarten one was discovered before the kids arrived.

If assisted suicide was accessible public suicides likely wouldn't be common. The number of people with exploded heads that emergency responders find would decline drastically I imagine.

We should be encouraging these people to take their frustrations out on the ruling class.

Give them something to live for. Something to believe in.

Nope. It's a bad prescient. Society would be a worse place if life had no inherent value.

I disagree, clinicallydepressedpoochie.
