> The only reason right-to-die isn’t something universal is because the dead can’t vote

Oh cut it out. This is a gross oversimplification of an overly complex moral quandary. It misses the point on both sides of the argument -- the agency of the dying and the sanctity of life -- for cheap reddit upvotes. At least familiarize yourself with some of the literature before trying to contribute to the debate.




I think you’re right. It is too complex for a thread like this. But instead of literature my opinion is informed by my own firsthand experience with terminally ill people and my own fear of dying in an uncontrolled way. But you’re so right that the complexity of these things must be appreciated.
