  1. Legalize suicide so people can choose to leave this life on their own terms. Currently, our true destiny appears to be: We are ALL going to die one day from something; We are ALL going to forget everything we ever knew and experienced; We are ALL going to be forgotten one day in future eternity as if we never ever existed at all in the first place. Q's: Where, When, How, and How much mess, if any, is left behind?

  2. Consider the following: The Earth's magnetic field continues to weaken, projected to be at it's weakest around 2035. The Earth's magnetic poles are also moving, and appears they will flip this time, as they have many times in the past. But the Earth's magnetic field helps protects species here upon this Earth from harmful cosmic radiation. But hence also, Earth's magnetic field weakens -> Less protection from harmful cosmic radiation -> More harmful cosmic radiation reaches the Earth -> More cancers. Rich people who have chosen to, and at least certain governments, have been, and continue to, build safe underground bunkers and infrastructure to help them survive the upcoming potential mass extinction event. If you are not rich and have chosen to, is your government building safe underground bunkers and infrastructure so that at least some of your citizens survive? Do you have an invite into one of these safe bunkers? If not, why not? The sooner people are aware of a potential harmful situation, the sooner people can prepare for those potential harmful situations, and possibly the more people can be saved from those potential harmful situations should those potential situations become reality. Your freewill choice though. What do you and your nation choose? To survive, or die and go extinct?

  3.  phone account  At least here in the USA: a. Some life insurance companies do not pay out if a person commits suicide. Some do, but only after a time period like 2 years. b. Some life insurance companies do not pay out if a person dies while committing a crime. Hence, suicide being illegal, would be a crime, and the life insurance companies laugh all the way to the bank. c. Also, here in the USA: Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. If an American citizen does not have the legal 'Liberty' to end their own 'Life' if they and they alone believe it would make them 'Happy' to do so, then are they truly 'Free'? Individual humans would basically just be slaves to the larger society for life, no matter how much they might be suffering. How many individual humans like being slaves, and suffering slaves at that, for life? # Free the slaves for those who wish to be 'free'.

  4.  phone account  a. "well, for one I think it's good that people can not turn their suicides into some morbid profiteering scheme,..." * How can the individual profit if they are dead? * So, military members who go on suicide missions for a greater 'profiteering scheme' should not be done? Some other entity benefits from their ultimate sacrifice, don't they? b. There are many ways a person can commit suicide: * Besides all the 'normal ways': * Suicide by cop: Where a person gets killed by the police for some reason. * Suicide by criminals: Where a person gets killed by a criminal for some reason. (Even some police officers utilize this so that they die as a 'hero' and their family members receive benefits. In essence, for 'profit'.) * Suicide by nature: Where a person does something and nature takes it course and kills them. * Suicide by accident: Kind of like the above, but it was just an 'accident'. c. Who are you to decide how others should live or die? Now sure, you certainly have your own viewpoints, but so do others have their viewpoints also. Especially those who are suffering and society won't let them die. Society puts animals to sleep when they are suffering and call it 'humane', but yet keep humans alive no matter how much those humans might be suffering. Society treats animals better than they treat their own fellow human beings at times. Are you one of those people of society? Edit: And oh yea: d. "the rest of your argument is irrelevant" I don't believe so. You like being a slave to society?

  5.  @seanregehr4921  a. Why should you decide who gets to live and who gets to die? By what authority do you claim to make such a decision? b. Legalize suicide across the USA, and yes, I will. I have been officially fighting advanced cancer since 2003 along with other medical issues and should have been dead years ago. Why won't society let me die so I can end my suffering? You Bastards !!!
