The Right to Die you said you don't look down on suicide as a sin and weakness, and neither do I. But our society does.
My question is: if a person choosing to end his life(which is his own) for whatever reason(hence I gave examples of three different circumstances in my original post) is looked down as a wrongful doing by society, does a human really have any true rights at all?
I understand we humans are complex creatures and are interwoven with other humans, and the act to end one's life impacts those around him. But is that reason enough to go on living when life is really unbearable? Why does society label it as sinful and selfish when it's anything but?
I had a friend who committed suicide a couple months back. Though he had a decent life, he felt life was ultimately pointless. He was severely depressed due to his existential crisis, and didn't want to be a burden on anyone. Though I miss him, I don't see that as selfish at all.
Are humans really free in this society if their choice to exercise their basic rights(to end their life if they feel it's justified) is looked at differently than, say, buying a red colored car? Why is giving birth (bringing a new life into this shit hole, especially with the world as it is now) celebrated when just another part of life(dying) is frowned upon by the society if done by conscious choice?
(*and by free will, I don't mean in the cosmic sense, but rather in the societal sense)
