And that's the point. The person expressing the wish (and expressing it before the death) did.
People make choices. We should let them, wherever possible. Yes, there are consequences - but we also let people fly wingsuits and base jump, and those have known consequences as well. Would you also enjoin people from doing that after a traumatic event? What about mountain climbing? Diving? Crossing the street?
If you apply the "no major choices after a traumatic event for a while" line of thought, we'd need to install temporary guardians for anybody who has a traumatic event. That doesn't work.
- karencarits 2y agoIf someone became extremely risk taking after a traumatic event, putting their life at stake at several occasions, it's not unreasonable to believe that - at least in some countries - the person would be forced to undergo a psychiatric evaluation, possibly through a temporary involuntary commitment
- respondo2134 2y agoone line that is crossed is putting others at risk or pulling them into their actions. I can't think of many scenarios where I'd support involuntary commitment when it was just the individual and their actions.
- margalabargala 2y agoFlying a wingsuit out of an airplane as part of a skydive is not particularly dangerous. It's the base jumping, wingsuit or no, that is extremely dangerous.
- LorenPechtel 2y agoAFIAK you don't have a reserve when you're using a wingsuit.
- margalabargala 2y agoYou're thinking of BASE jumping. Base jumpers do not use reserves generally. Someone jumping out of an airplane with a wingsuit is wearing an ordinary skydiving rig complete with reserve and AAD.
