I'm sick of suicide discussions irl revolving around the idea of selfishness.
Everything we do could be considered selfish, that includes so called altruistic people.
This is my body, my life, my unhappiness. Why should I need to factor other people into whether I want to make a deeply personal choice around whether or not I want to wake up tomorrow? What's my business about how they feel? Especially since I don't have anyone that is my dependent.
I think it would be better if conversations revolved whether or not someone has the capacity for being happy in the future. Some people's mindset is that suffering is a temporary distraction from happiness and that's wonderful that they have that mindset. However, many of us feel that happiness is temporary from continued suffering. People with that mindset should be allowed to exit living if they want.
I don't follow antinatalism as a philosophy but I understand their support for on demand assisted suicide. People go out by themselves in such excruciating ways. Why can't we have pills provided to us so that our exit can be peaceful and we don't have to worry about traumatizing people who find our bodies? If we have any loved ones they could say goodbye without derailing our exit. It's absolutely crazy how we're brought into this world without choice and we're not even given the courtesy of being allowed to leave with choice.
