All has to do with sex. It's our main drive. We are stretched, hairless Bonobos. Why do we want big cars, an respectable job, expensive watches, the newest I-Pad, full hair and so on? Because our reptilian brain says so. Expensive/scarce stuff = sexual attraction.

You've managed to simplify a matter that is way too complicated to reliably do so.

Shure? How many people have access to horses in Japan, India or China?

A good chunk of the population, I'd imagine.

So, you're a coward who searchs for excuses to let other people do the dirty work, then? Where's the difference to someone who jumps at a high speed train and scares the train driver for his life?

Why should I care?




Nobody has ever shown me any kindness when it comes to having contact with horses, so why should I show any kind of remorse for jumping in front of a train to kill myself?




Not that I'd do that, but c'mon. Think for a moment before you make such a remark.

And who's filling the pot that's the Insurance? All countries you mentioned have forced, socialized healthcare.

How about the person with the insurance plan? Assisted suicide should not be considered any different than, say, going to see a doctor to have your gallbladder removed.




Also, consider the following scenario. Instead of going in to see a doctor about your depression that never goes away, you could see a doctor to have yourself killed.




A much better alternative, don't you think? It would definitely be cheaper for the insurance companies, too! All they would have to do is sign off on a lethal dosage of drugs, and they would have saved themselves a lot money in the long run.
