Loneliness and feeling unloved are twice as likely to kill you as being overweight.
As death becomes something that you choose, rather than something that happens to you, people will ask for it just because they can.
byAround 16 per cent of the people who use ‘right-to-die’ organizations such as Dignitas have no underlying health problems listed on their death certificates.

How selfish, to ask someone to kill on your behalf. I have lots of sympathy for those who are so sad that they would consider ending it all, I do. Bu that sympathy turns to red-hot anger when the person would be physically able to commit suicide on his own, but doesn’t want to take that burden upon himself, so he puts that burden upon another.
I don’t think our generation has enough experience with death. How many people have actually seen someone else die? Heck, no one even butchers his own meat anymore. I think if more people in our society had some experience with death and killing, then we simply wouldn’t be having this conversation. No one would ask another to kill on his behalf. It’s too great a burden to put on someone else’s soul.
