I hope assisted suicide never becomes legal here. It’s just another way for society to fail.

I hope assisted suicide never becomes legal here. It’s just another way for society to fail.
- quantified 1y agoIs there evidence that society fails?
- db48x 1y agoWhat, aside from history?
- quantified 1y agoPlease elaborate. Which society or societies, when?
- db48x 1y agoYou can’t think of even one? Not even Rome? Do I really have to list out all the failed societies here?
- quantified 1y agoList out all the ones that failed due to assisted suicide, yes. Maybe just two to establish the outlines of a pattern.
- yawpitch 1y agoYou’re assuming that a society without the right to die isn’t already in a failure state.
- db48x 1y agoIf you’ve got one problem that could kill you then inviting in a second does not seem like an ideal choice. A little plague to go with that yellow fever, perhaps?
- yawpitch 1y agoNo matter what there comes a problem that will kill you. You don’t get a choice in that extremely fundamental fact, it’s a consequence of both the fact of your life and whatever rights your country permits to you in that life… plague, yellow fever, ruptured peritoneum, or a GBU-57 ejaculated by a very small orange fungus masquerading as the penis of a grotesquely inhuman man, thou shalt shuffle off this mortal coil. If you can’t choose to shuffle it off yourself you’ve already accepted the loss of the one freedom every living thing should have from moment zero.
