It is pro-social if you can separate objectively. And even then, who is that “social” to decide it? Some people aren’t social.
If the separation line gets drawn across questionable cases, then it’s authoritarian for them. As usual, any scalable implementation will look like a very jagged asterisk-shaped circle and some financial or political interest around it, acting far away from the real needs of people. And those who pick edge cases on its less certain side will push the whole setup further until it stops making sense. Systems like this are inherently vague, which is prone to “oh, we had another case, must regulate more”.
I’ll rephrase myself from the previous thread about suicides: the “society” keeps a blind eye on the fact that it is it who drives people to end their life and then puts a big “dying is prohibited and offensive” sign at the end of this road. If “society” wants to keep “healthy but confused” (subjectively to it) people from leaving, it should look to the root of the problem, not put a barrier at the end.
Ofc teens should be kept away from this for obvious biological reasons.
- f154hfds 2y ago> Ofc teens should be kept away from this for obvious biological reasons. Why of course? Is the reason this is obvious to you unique to teenagers? When they turn 18 (or 20) do the reasons to restrict their freedoms immediately go away? Is there no possibility the 'obvious' reason in your mind couldn't occur for a different person in a different age bracket?
- wruza 2y agoYes, they go away. 18 is a safe age of autonomy, not median. Normal procedures still apply, e.g. are you being coerced, does society physically demand too much from you (e.g. in a form of debt, pain, lack of sleep), etc. If they pass, they are free to die. To reiterate, fix the problem, not the gate. All statements above are only valid as a whole.
