Someone posted here a blog from a guy who had a plan to commit suicide at the age of 50. He wrote a lot of articles explaining the reasoning. It was mostly a fear of declining quality of life with age, and a fear of becoming incapacitated at some point and being unable to follow through with euthanasia if he was suffering. It stuck in my head and I'd like to find it again because I couldn't remember if this was something he went through with or if it was hypothetical.
- danielvf 8y agoWe’re you thinking of the author of zeromq? http://hintjens.com/blog:115 http://hintjens.com/blog:115 “A protocol for dying”
- gdulli 8y agoNo, this was someone who was still in good health and wanted to be proactive about avoiding possible future sickness and even just aging. But thanks for posting that.
- deft 8y agoAre you talking about the guy who ended up killing himself, revealing a never ending manifesto-like site upon his suicide? I'd like to find that again myself. EDIT: one google search and here it is: http://www.businessinsider.com/ex-sports-writer-kills-himself-and-leaves-massive-website-explaining-why-2013-8 http://www.businessinsider.com/ex-sports-writer-kills-himsel... The site looks like it's down now though.
- gdulli 8y agoThat's it, thank you! I didn't remember it was a sports writer, I assumed it was someone who worked in tech since I had found it here. And here's a working mirror: http://martin-manley.eprci.com/ http://martin-manley.eprci.com/
