Who said they have no interest in life? There are already clear examples of people choosing this who do want to continue living, but don't see a way to meet their own needs with the resources given to them.
Later down thread you switch to a "there is no interest in funding them" argument. Which is straight up wicked sorry. That's just saying regardless of whether you find life living, we don't find your life worth living, so expect you to end it.
I don't have any particular generalized moral objection to suicide per se. I believe people should be able to meet the end of their life on their own terms with dignity and agency. But I also know that we live in an unequal world, and that people will be, are now presented with this option when they would not otherwise choose it, when we don't find their lives worth living.
- hackinthebochs 4y ago>Who said they have no interest in life? This is different than "forced to continue to live a life they have no interest in". >Later down thread you switch to a "there is no interest in funding them" argument. I didn't switch to anything. It was a premise of a specific argument in response to a specific claim. >That's just saying regardless of whether you find life living, we don't find your life worth living, so expect you to end it. This just has no relation whatsoever to anything I said. >I don't have any particular generalized moral objection to suicide per se. I believe people should be able to meet the end of their life on their own terms with dignity and agency. Great, we agree on that point. My further point is that those currently suffering should not bear the burden of our inability to collectively decide to fund further improvements to their quality of life.
