People can choose to celebrate life and death however they choose, among people whom care about them, and whom they care about, free of judgement from any random person on Hacker News.

Freedom means both things can happen. People can celebrate death and people can judge.
And I can write annoying comments like this one!

"Free of judgment" is silly. Opinions are not judgment.

If you do something publicly you have zero control of who judges you and for what.

Sure, but the realization that the judgement is entirely irrelevant and unneeded might make the judger give pause.

We're arguing in a comment thread for guardian journospam. Everything about this interaction is entirely irrelevant and unneeded.

Facing death and not succumbing to despair is pretty special.
Nightmarish.
These people think they're so special for being terminally ill. Don't they know that happens to everyone? There's nothing more banal than getting cancer.
