You would think, with all that is going on in the world about rights

[Under The Graveyard]

Black rights
Hispanic rights
Asian rights
LGBT rights
And so on....

Where are the rights for us? Ending our life when we want should be our right. We didn't ask to be brought into this world, we shouldn't need permission to exit it at our convenience.

 

[All Things Must Pass]

They are being advocated, you just are not looking deep enough.

Rights for various races and minorities = more consuming and tax-paying

Right to die = less consuming and tax-paying

That's all you need to know

Yes, with us gone, the government gets less tax money. So it only makes sense they would want to keep us alive as long as possible.

 

[FuneralCry]

Yes I agree. A right to die should be a basic human right. It seems like more countries are becoming more accepting of euthanasia though now, but it should be legalised everywhere.

I think it is because the groups that you have listed are viewed as "just people" like everyone else... which they are of course. But the suicidal are often considered emotionally and/or psychologically compromised, so their desires and thoughts regarding the Right To Die, or anything else at all, are invalidated. They are reduced to a caricature of the stereotypical mental patient, and this strips them of all their personality in the eyes of others.

Equality is about treating all people the same. The issue is that not all people are seen as actual people.
