do you think I’m a Christian or something? Because I’m not.
And I’m not staying the state owns his life, I’m saying I don’t know who owns it. I’m saying that’s a really difficult philosophical question.
But in the United States, you cannot die by suicide legally. So the state does have control over your life.
But let’s say I own my life. Why would I want to destroy something I own? Who is the I that benefits from that action?
If you own your life then why do you allow your life to suffer? Why don’t you just stop you’re suffering if you own your life by other means then killing yourself?
You see it gets very tricky.
If the government doesn’t own your life which you agree with, then it doesn’t have the right to tell you what to do with it. If I’m in debilitating pain that has no chance to get better, why wouldn’t I want to end it.
And the US has always been hypocritical about controlling people’s lives.
