Society doesn't have to give you the rope to hang yourself.
- eikenberry 3y agoI disagree or rather yes, it does have the responsibility to provide you a rope. It is up to you whether you hang yourself or not.
- worik 3y agoYou are taking the position that an individual "owns" themselves That is not obviously true. I feel I belong to my family and my community.
- Xymist 3y agoYour position is not universal, and in fact strongly opposed by many. I believe that I have the absolute right to edit or terminate my own existence, either on purpose or accidentally. To the extent that anyone can own a person, people own themselves exclusively.
- worik 3y ago> Your position is not universal True. But neither is the other position
- chpatrick 3y agoI disagree, I think if you walk into a pharmacy and ask for something dangerous without a prescription they shouldn't be obligated to give it to you. It's the same with medical equipment that keeps you alive. If you want to risk your life you can do it but no one should be compelled to help you.
- eikenberry 3y agoNo one should be compelled. I mean it more in a negative manner, that it has an obligation to not stop people from helping. If someone wanted to offer a nitrogen tank, valve, tube and an easily head fitting bag for sale to people who want to commit suicide in a painless and ensured manner they be able to sell that (and people would). But in fact you cannot, and that is wrong.
