I like your argument, one up vote. One question though, is the child the same as the man? I mean, what constitutes the individual? His thoughts, the atoms that make him up or the continuity of the body. If the thoughts, then the child and the man should be the same because the child can adquire the thoughts of the man. If the atoms, then they will never cease to exist but they may separate and become something else. If the body, then that rots in the ground.

Assisted Suicide is my retirement plan.

Right now you can go to Oregons and get "the pill" that will do you in. I would just go there, get the pill and be done with it.

I've always felt that I'm not of this world; that I don't fit in. Maybe if there were less people on this planet.... but since I can't control (take out) everyone else, all I can do is control (take out) myself.

No one asked to be born. They were brought to this world kicking and screaming. Some will leave the same way they came in but some want to leave with dignity.

Why should anyone care that someone wants to get off the ride? It's not like they have to stop the planet so that they get off. Maybe it's the fact that misery loves company.

I don't know how to be philosophical but those are my two cents.

If truth is not subjective then why do so many people (with opposing views) claim that truth is on their side?
