Just because nobody else seems to want them doesn't mean they should have to kill themselves.

Just because nobody else seems to want them doesn't mean they should have to kill themselves.
- voisin 3y agoOP says “voluntarily”. Nobody has to kill themselves, but it seems like a lot of older people aren’t particularly happy in the last few years of their lives, kept alive by increasing drugs and machines, sometimes the mind long gone. Seems awful to extend life beyond the point of enjoyment, and an option to end things seems more humane than forcing people to continue.
