Discussion Why don’t people have the right to die?

[Fadeaway_bankz]

Why don't people have the right to die? It's unfair that we don't because nobody asked to born! So if someone wants to end their shitty rigged miserable unfair and unhappy life, they should have the right to die peacefully! It's selfish to force someone to live a miserable life! Misery loves company! Those who aren't happy with their lives always want to make other people unhappy! If they had a choice to end their lives quickly, painlessly, and peacefully then a lot of people would do that instead of living bitter and miserable lives. It would fix and solve so many problems! The world would be a lot better! The world would be more peaceful! But humans don't want that! Humans would never allow that to happen…

I think it's really to prevent rash and convulsive decisions. Most people would have wanted to die at some point in their life, but it's because suicide isn't easy that they stay alive. For example, let's say you broke up with your partner. Some people would be absolutely crushed and if given a button to just instantly die they might irrationality take it. People are capable of turning their life around and it happens a lot more than you might think. Society preserves life, and we want to prevent people who could've lived from dying.

Yea will there's also some pretty fucked up stories I've come across here.

There should be more than chronic illness with 6 months left to live.

When you say fucked up stories, I assume you're saying people have gone through traumatic things and should be allowed to die rather than live with it, which I honestly see but in general I don't think anyone should just be able to freely and easily kill themself.

It's like when a child cheats at a game and then gets upset that no one wants to play, except that child is the people in power that make this world a nightmare. Everyone else follows suit because of this societal notion that "its the right thing to do"

Because if they allowed it. The workforce would decrease, and capitalism might fail. Can't have that. Nope they need us as slaves to make rich people richer.

That's the real, actual reason.

I agree with this... but what the actual world does not understand is that we SHOULD have the right to CTB. Plus why do some places call it murder if you do it to yourself? That is what confuses me.

They want other humans as slaves

They can't even compromise with some rational restricted allowances to move away from extreme suffering

For example they say everything they make into crimes is to protect the children . But they won't allow anyone to show id over 18 to purchase nenmbutal, hire some to kill u, suicide booths etc. Remember that there are already many things like lawsuits that are allowed and should be that would prevent abuse in suicide assisting services or selling of Nemutal etc

In a less evil world I should at least be allowed to show id to prove im over 18 and buy Nembutal at a retail store.

Or Id to hire someone to shoot me in the head 10 times which is guaranteed.

And I can guarantee even after agi Ai in robots that can do any job a human can which i think at most 5 to 10 years : they still won't allow us the right to die. A clue to this is they don't allow now even someone age 85 bed bound and in pain the right to die even though that person wants to die and is costing millions $ per year in medical costs to keep alive hospital visits surgeries etc : there is no sense to this evil

That is the point.
It doesn't matter if you live or die
Even if you had potential and if they say it's wrong that you're allowed to die just cos you had a bad day. It isn't wrong because even if you could have had a good life so what ?
None of it matters.

It would be so easy to prevent rash descions. In my world, If somebody can't prove an incurable sufferable illness, which would indeed grand them quick button push, I would give everyone applying for euthanasia a mandatory 6-month-waiting-period where they are free to talk to family/ friends/ or, if they want to, escially trained therapists about their desire to die without fear of getting incarcerated. They are free to cancel the appointment in this 6 month period whenever they want, and most people propably will, I would say you are only allowed to apply every 3 years so there is no constant back-and-forth with people applying and quitting.

Scores of people catching the bus would expose this "reality" for the sick joke it actually is...

It would force all the irresponsible narcissists who pump sensitive beings into a meat grinder willy-nilly to consider the possibility that it's reaaally a bad idea!

And of course, as others have already said above, it would deprive those who live off the fat of the land of the millions of wage-slaves who make their lives so pleasant by making the world run, to their benefit.

What if i'm in constant unbearable pain? Or wiil be in a few days as in homelessness why do I have to wait 6 months in unbearable constant pain?

I should allowed to instantly purchase nembutal or suicide assisting services over age 18 no questions asked. Just show id and pay.

I don't have to explain to anyone why I want to kill these monstrous cells I'm imprisoned in. It's nobody's business when I want to die I'm a die anyway.

Why do I have to live a minute more?

I don't care if I had a so called good life it's my choice alone when I leave this hell. I will never want to live even a minute more under any circumstances

Correct get me the fuck out of here.

I can't even put together a plan I'm in so much pain. Need a button

It's like getting Medicaid etc, some people are having such a tough time they can't even go through the process. I just want a fucking button
