Discussion I guess it’s a question of public cost 🆚 personal freedom.

In terms of the law this is a valid discussion. Not that a law ever stopped anyone from doing something they really wanted to do. Not to mention that ctb is a "consciquenceless" crime for the one ending their life.

No wonder they gotta pump the masses full of drugs and occupied by game shows :/

Damn, it sucks that our deaths of despair cost people money .Though I guess there won't be much productivity loss when I kick the bucket! Gotta look at the bright side!

This is a bunch of BS based on the faulty assumption that there is no surplus labor to replace that production. Unless there is 100% employment, it just means a job opportunity for someone who was otherwise unemployed. It's not like when a worker commits suicide the company dissolves the job, they just find some other pleb to replace them. It also makes the assumption that all suicides are by otherwise active contributors to the economy when in reality many are committed by people who are not working and are receiving both basic survival benefits as well as healthcare related benefits due to their fight with mental illness.

All that being said, it's just another example of a world that views human life as having no more value than an entry on a ledgersheet which is part of the problem imo.

I've been saying the following for a while now. The reason why suicide and euthanasia is frowned upon (by the higher ups) is because the more people that are dead, the less people there are to be wage slaves and pay taxes.

It's just so gross and disgusting how everything revolves around money. So much so that someone took the time to put these figures together and present it as though people are only put on this goddamned earth to work and be a good little economic slave.
Heaven forbid someone taking their life because they can't stand the torture of this evil world costs somebody money. Oh, the horror!

Not just about taxes. What if there was no fear of death, revolutions and revolts would be much more commonplace.

The country would become unmanageable and they'd have to treat the average person with respect not like utter scum

Yeah the economy is not losing anything if I disappear. I am currently practicing 0% productivity.

Me too. Probably a negative figure in my case.
