We also don’t do this, because it will lead to people agreeing to be killed for money. Also you’d need everybody involved to undergo a mental evaluation. We wouldn’t want manipulable people bring killed for sport. Because let’s not kid ourselves, that would absolutely happen. And so we just don’t allow it at all.
Yeah, think about it this way, if you were suicidal, but you knew that there was some rich dude that loved killing people, and watching them scream in terror as their life drained from their body, but would pay you, or pay your family, like a quarter of a million dollars to torture you to death…
That’s like a win-win, right?
You’re taking care of your family, you’re killing yourself, some dude gets his rocks off, everyone walks away happy.
No! That’s an abhorrent thing, and it should not be allowed to happen, but it definitely would happen if this were made a law.
Most people who survive a suicide attempt are very happy they did. Suicidal ideation should not be promoted, it’s a mental health emergency. Also, what you will see even more often is people being bullied into a situation like that. This is really a situation with minuscule to no benefits and enormous potential for harm, so I really don’t get why people argue for it. Bodily autonomy yes, very sick people should be allowed to end their lives on their terms. I absolutely agree with that. Anything else is just bullshit.
another example of capitalism/society causing harm and people ascribing that harm to the response rather than the system that pushed people to be desperate enough to be killed for money. but you know that already fucking happens. life insurance fraud is a thing. people take out huge life insurance plans then go find a way to die that looks like an accident to support someone else. but sure allowing people to consent to die would be the real problem.
