For everyone there is a point where keeping them alive costs more for themselves and others than it benefits anyone.

Comments on it are also gold.

i understand but that's if you're looking at the value of human life in monetary terms. and "declining happiness", i agree that can happen as you age but hopefully, you've done enough in the prior years to keep happiness going

It's not purely monetary, though that is certainly a factor.

There's the time cost to your loved ones or physicians to take care of you.

The pain from watching your health decline.

Especially with diseases like Alzheimers.

The physical pain to you as your body starts breaking down.

for sure, those things happen

but is that at 50 or is that at end of life in your 80's/90's?

The decline tends to be exponential.

But, generally, starts around 50ish.

For me personally, makes more sense to go out at the top of the decline than the end.

Obviously changes based on circumstance.

If you're raising a teenager or have a wife dependent on you at 50, obviously don't do it.

wife? why help the woman, kevin? lmao

Because abandoning your responsibilities is pretty cucked behavior.

i understand the argument in a utilitarian/objectivist POV but i disagree with it

i'd like to think that if i ever have a family who depended on me and i want to not-be-alive myself that i would get that shit fixed

Lol. Can you not read?

That's exactly what I'm saying to do.

Hell, even if you don't have a family and don't want to be alive, get that shit fixed.

because it\s gay

Wat

Your son is gonna be big sad

Sure.

Obviously.

But he's gonna be sad when I die no matter what happens.

I assume.

Be sure that they have fond memories.
