What percentage of the population do you think would commit ctb if there was an instant peaceful pill to ctb with ?
That's a lot when added up!5 percent of 8 billion is 400,000,000
I was thinking 10 % toHonestly? Up to 10% would be a safe bet imo. But I wouldn't be surprised if it were as high as 40%. A lot of people joke and/or vent about wanting to die and hating life, but they can't manage to get themselves to CTB for one reason or another. MAiD for all, or an easily accessible DIY peaceful exit, would definitely be a catalyst for a major increase in suicides.
But there's also the argument that having access to a peaceful and guaranteed exit would make people want to stick around and try to bear what they can, since they'd always have an out available to them. So perhaps 10% at most would take immediate advantage, and the rest would keep their "peaceful pill" tucked away somewhere at home, ready for whenever things go awry.
I'm so jealous of people that love lifeI've met so many people who seem to genuinely enjoy life and who seemingly aren't troubled by anything that I think the percentage wouldn't be too high.
I guess it depends on how easy it is to obtain the pill. If each day for a month you'd have to confirm that you still want to die before you were able to obtain the pill, I think the percentage of people who take it would be much lower than if you could just walk up to a store and buy it without any questions.
My very rough and not even close to being scientific guesses:
- No waiting period, easy to obtain: 3%
- 1 month waiting period: 0.1%
Available freely like otc drugInteresting question. I think it would depend on a handful of things. Is there any kind of approval people would need to go through to be qualified? Is it just available freely like alcohol or some OTC drug?
1/3? It's huuuuge. I don't think so many people would like to die. Most people are afraid of death.Good question!!
I would bet that 1/3 of the world would CTB if it was readily available
I agree. Theres a lot of depressed people but they dont want to die1/3? It's huuuuge. I don't think so many people would like to die. Most people are afraid of death.
I think in this case the pattern will be akin to the one we see with the legalization of weed for example. Or even alcohol, cigarettes. That kind of stuff. The major "concern" of the society is that those things are sold without many restrictions, the whole society will become potheads. Which clearly isn't the case. There will be people who will become potheads, of course. But there will also be people who just dabble. And people who never even touch that stuff. So I think with OTC ctb it would be similar to that.Available freely like otc drug
