Terminally Ill Woman Brittany Maynard Has Died With Dignity

[Eddie Teach]

Did anyone else pick out from the article that her husband is 43 and she is 29?

And her mother is 56 and step father 72.

Brings hope to us all.

I m glad to see that we have so many authorities on death here; people confident enough in their authority that they can not only make sweeping statements that there is no dignity in death, but that people with contrary opinions are lying to themselves.  Languish: beacon of expertise to the world!  If only everyone read languish, silly concepts like "death with dignity"  and classical liberalism would be consigned to the scrap heap of history.

But not strawmen. We'd have lots of those.

There's no such thing as death with dignity.

Well he's right.  We lie to ourselves that there is dignity in death, but it's just the transition from being a person to being a thing.

I think it is the transition from being a person to being nothing.

Also, I echo what sbr said.

Well you are still there, you are just a corpse.  At least if you are a materialist.

True.  That's why I didn't add to the population.

I think we can all agree that you haven't contributed to the discussion here.

I am not a materialist.

Idealist or Dualist?

[Scipio]

Well, it's sad.

But I've had two more important people in my life die in the past week, so I can't muster up the fucks to give.
