Thankfully I’ve never procreated.
Imagine being trapped in an unwanted life, wanting to die, but staying alive because it is “right” for others.
Some simply want to be dead, not seek medical help. The arrangement of western life, however, is that one is expected to “seek help” when they’ve decided to pack it in.
- jklein11 8y agoNot sure how the procreation part is relevant. You are part of society and many communities whether you like it or not. I guess I don't understand how life is wanted/unwanted. I have no concept of what it is like to not have life, so how could I possibly prefer it? I think because I can't rationalize it makes me think that something else might be at play. At the end of the day seeking medical help has very little downside even if it isn't helpful. Not seeking medical help when it could have been helpful seems like it has a tremendous amount of downside with very little upside.
- hsienmaneja 8y agoProcreation is relevant not due to the responsibility aspect (which may change things), but because I wouldn’t want to have brought an unwanted life into existence. I don’t prefer death to life, i just don’t want to be alive. No clue what death may be like. Could be infinitely horrible or the opposite.
