There has to be a better system than this.

    I dealt with it by choosing to not have kids years ago. I didn’t ask to be born, and I refuse to force that on anyone else.

    Once things become too difficult, I’m pulling my own plug.

      How are you going to pull your own plug if the country you are in suddenly makes a law to prevent you from doing that?

        Laws against suicide are notoriously difficult to enforce, for obvious reasons.

          Lock you up with suicide watch. So essentially sleep deprivation by keeping the lights on and checking up on you every 15 minutes.

        It already is illegal, and euthanasia while “tolerated” is also illegal to perform by a medical professional.

        What are they going to do, arrest a corpse? Fine by me.

          I’m not suicidal, but I have considered how nice it would be to diary in a date where I think “yep, i’ve had a titsful of life now, time to fuck off to sto’vo’kor” or whatever.

          The only thing that stops me taking it seriously is the prospect that it may be subjecting others to criminal investigation or court process.

            I think you need to die in battle if you want to go to Sto’Vo’Kor. Killing yourself would be without honor.

        A lot of places have those laws already. They aren’t stopping anyone. What, someone suicidal is supposed to go “oh, guess that’s not allowed” and regain their will to live?
