Venting "You didn't choose when to be born. You can't choose when you die."

[TimeToBiteTheDust]

I can't remember where I read that phrase but totally disagree. More prolifer bullshit. It makes me sick.I didn't ask to be born. And my life is mine I can do what I want with it. What do you think?

 

[NotGonnaLast]

I completely agree. People wouldn't expect you to stick by a contract someone else signed without your knowledge or agreement. Life is just a different kind of contract.

 

[whereispeace]

Yeah, I hate that quote. Makes me angry.

 

[NotMeant2B]

My parents chose. Do they have the right to kill me? What kind of stupid logic is that.

Also, by that logic, I shouldn't go the hospital in the case of an accident or an illness. Or are they forgetting that that action gives us the option to avoid our death? We're having a double standard, aren't we?

A living will and a DNAR form also means we get to choose

 

[itsamadworld]

still angry at my parents that they put me here...I don't feel bad when my mombie cried when I told her, " I wish I was never born, no thanks for putting me in this hell-scape, and I really wish you would have aborted me, and I hope you have to bury me" ...I don't owe them anything, least of all my life

 

[NotGonnaLast]

Personally my death would actually help people out IMO

Besides my parents sure didn't help me to grow into a well adjusted adult

completely disagree as well, that's one of the stupidest things I've ever heard

 

[NotGonnaLast]

Although I suppose it could be more about the context of when the quote was made

Edit: I tried researching the quote and the first thing that came up was an article with "your soul DID choose to be born" as a first line

 

[Green Destiny]

Complete BS. If people have the right to live then they should also have the right to choose when they wish to die.

 

[faust]

From the same opera:
1) You cannot take your own life because life is a gift from god.
2) You are a woman, you have to give birth, life is a gift...but nobody fucking cares that your kid will be bullied because they have nothing
3) Life is a gift... But it does not mean you won't get a staggering bill for saving your life you did not want to save.
And these people will continue to be used as a paper mache by governments, religions, creditors.
They still didn't understand that you have to make a choice, otherwise they will make a choice for you.

Sorry. I read it in Spanish. Forgot to say.

 

[Antibody246]

I think you are right. If pedo's are allowed to rape little babies and drink their blood, then a fortiori one should be allowed to take his own life.

 

[NotGonnaLast]

I'm pretty sure paedophilia is illegal...

This is where I need a laughing emoji reaction

Roughly 1,000,000 people will defy that quote just this year. 1,000,000 did it last year. And another million the year before.

 

[s1mplem3]

Agree. Bullshit. I didn't choose when to be born, but my life is in my hands and this is my choice what to do with my life. Everyone has the right to choose and freedom.

 

[PrettyMoose]

The fact that we have no choice in being born means that we should have choice in the circumstances of our death if we do actually own our bodies. That should be a human right.

 

[orangepotato]

Everyone has the right to die, since they were born without their consent. Suicide is a human right. Hopefully one day these SAVAGES will realize that, and will stop trying to "help" us for exercising one of our most fundamental rights - the right to die.

 

[Marktheghost]

"You didn't choose when to be born. You can't choose when you die"? Is there supposed to be a therefore in between those 2 sentences? I can't see any logical connection between the 2 at all!!

 

[departing]

I wish suicide was a lot easier than it is. I can choose when to die but it seems as if I have to go through hoops and hurdles to attain it.

 

[The Dark Chaos]

That's just bullshit!

 

[Musketeer]

The fact that your alive, sentient, and present here and now gives you the right to end all of that. Just because you didn't ask to be born, or had no control over your birth means nothing, the moment your sentient and are capable of making decisions the circumstances of surrounding existence and the circumstances surrounding your desire for non-existences are meaningless.

 

[GoneGoneGone]

Totally not my fault that my parents did a quickie in the morning unprotected and I was born. I was even announced that I was a quickie in the morning and hence unplanned. As if length of the sexual act is correlated with the probability of getting preggers. Idiots

 

[BridgeJumper]

This is even worse than 'Dont kill yourself, you have so much to live for!!!!1111'
Do the people saying this even know how we feel? Or are they just having a holier - than - thou attitude and wanna play God with others lives?

Totally wish I could go back in time to July 1993 and tell my mother to scrape me out. And if she refuses, I would light up a giant hologram screen on the wall of me being tied to a hospital bed, screaming about dead bodies, hell etc, crying, asking people to kill me. Then Ill show her all the abuse I went through. And after that, Ill ask her: Do you seriously still want me to live??

Why are total strangers assuming shit about my life
