Sadly, I do not believe assisted suicide will ever become a broadly accepted outcome. Too many people are afraid of death and willing to subjugate the freedom of everyone in order to defend their precious sensibilities.
The only thing that would stand against self assisted suicide coming to masses is those religious people.
> What we need instead is assisted suicide for people who decided they can’t take it anymore in competing in this cruel world.
This is an incredibly cynical and disconnected thing to say. Life isn't a 'grind' or competition where your success is based on how hard you work, it's a cruel system built on exploitation and abuse.
There are plenty of people that work their asses off providing arguably essential services, yet are barely above the poverty line. Walmart is one of the largest employers in the US, raking in over 150B in profit, yet also has some of the most employees relying on social security programs to get by.
It is impossible for everyone in this Earth to live like an average Americans. The Earth will suffer.
They don’t have to work for Walmart. Please study programming or plumbing instead.
Meanwhile a lot of people in other countries would kill to have their standard of living. The only reason why they have the salary and standard living that they have compared to 3rd world country is because their country export inequalities, trash, made possible by their money printing machine backed by military power.
I mean, this is an incredibly disingenuous conclusion. By that logic democracy is flawed and can never exist in South America, the Middle East, or any other number of places where the CIA staged coups and assassinated leaders.
It's hard for any system to thrive, regardless of its merit, when the world's de-facto superpower has dedicated billions into its destruction.
No, its a grind and competition where your success is based much mainly on the lottery of starting circumstances.
What we need instead is assisted suicide for people who decided they can’t take it anymore in competing in this cruel world.
