  • Hey Guest,

    Today, OFCOM launched an official investigation into Sanctioned Suicide under the UK’s Online Safety Act. This has already made headlines across the UK.

    This is a clear and unprecedented overreach by a foreign regulator against a U.S.-based platform. We reject this interference and will be defending the site’s existence and mission.

    In addition to our public response, we are currently seeking legal representation to ensure the best possible defense in this matter. If you are a lawyer or know of one who may be able to assist, please contact us at [email protected].

I am just confused, why should I put in any effort in my life when its going to inevetably end. I just hope that the end part comes sooner than later.

One reason could be to maximise happiness per second. Personal happiness, or collective happiness. Or some other metric, some other goal. You don't need anybody else to tell you the goal, you are supposed to figure out it yourself. Those who give you a goal can do it for selfish reasons, I see some people exploit the fact that others lack meaning of life by giving them some nonsense meaning of life (such as dying in a war started by that country).

One could also say "why ctb when life is going to inevitably end? just do whatever you want and and at some point it will end.".

I wish assisted suicide was accessible, but it isn't. The fact that it isn't accessible removes a choice from their lives.
If having to pick between "I'll take the assisted suicide, thank you." and "I'll do my best to live an okay life." a lot of people would pick death.
But we don't have that option, removing the choice (making it significantly more difficult) results in more people trying to live their lives.

It depends really. If you aren't able to escape this life currently, there are various options ahead. Sometimes it's not so much really wanting something out of life, it's about trying to navigate through the lessor of the evils.

Would destitution and homelessness bother you? If you don't fancy working and there's no one to support you? If you have to work, would you rather wage slave for minimum wage or, train in the hopes of getting a better paid job? Possibly/ hopefully in a subject you find interesting at least?

A third of our lives (at least) are spent working. People I think sometimes focus on things like study and career because they hope that will make that large chunk of time at least bearable.

That's just one example. I suppose others put effort into attracting a partner in the hopes life will be less lonely that way.

Perhaps nothing really appeals but do some outcomes horrify you? I think sometimes we do what we do just to avoid them.

I understand, I also just wish to be free from it all, I'd just never wish for this futile existence of suffering all for the sake of it where I'm just waiting to die and I'll always see existing as just being waiting for death as after all, all will be gone and forgotten in non-existence anyway.
