Compulsory Age of Death

[JustMeSee]

Well it seems as if I have been thoroughly verbally slapped back into my place



Well I say it hoping I will be that age.

In the book version, you would have met your end at Carousel, on your your last birthday.

Ernst Roehm might disagree about the 'except their own little circle' part.

Good point. I forgot about him. Thanks for the reminder.

I feel that it would be too cruel. Might as well kill everyone that's:
-Homeless
-A convicted criminal
-On welfare
-Mentally ill
-Why not make the age 50? That means the population will decrease even more!


Eventually something will likely happen and reduce the population by a lot (Plague, earthquake, volcano, flood, hurricane, etc.) whether by nature, or whatever God/Goddess is there. The earth will eventually reach its breaking point and wipe most of the population out.

Hi,

Would it be moral or immoral to have a compulsory a of death for everyone?

At first this seemed terrible to me, but it does make some sense. The population is ageing and this would allow people a guaranteed peaceful death. You would be able to plan for death and say good-bye to your loved ones.

Of course it would seem different if we are ever able to reverse ageing without overpopulating the world.

I'm not saying I'm for it, just that it is interesting. The age limit could be 100 which is very old by our standards anyway.

Being strongly opposed to the death penalty, I don´t see how I could possibly defend such a proposal.

You can add major wars to the list.

While I fully support the right of people to choose euthanasia if they are suffering from a terminal illness, I think it is atrocious to say that everyone must die at a certain age.
