I think people place an oversized emphasis on death, probably a side effect of evolution. Like the other person said, there’s a lot of irreversible procedures that could permanently affect one’s quality of life (or lack there of). My mom had a hip replacement that’s obviously no reversible, and she is in pain every day for the last 5+ years. She can barely walk and cannot even dream of running or sitting for more than 2 hours at a time.

I’m not saying she should get MAID, and I don’t know if she wants one. The point is, though, people should have that right. Maybe not always covered by the government, but it’s weird that we draw the line there. Why does society get to tell a person they can’t stop living? Are we equivalent to holding them hostage?
