30. I have given 3 conditions
Mon Nov 18, 2013, 12:51 PM
Nov 2013

1) First is of age on which we both agree upon

2) Second is of debt...Which is mainly because of following situations :

Someone takes a loan of $100k (given on his job salary basis) , spend it in 1 day on hookers, gambling etc and then choose to die the next day? Who is going to pay after his/her death? Who will make sure that he/she doesn't choose to die next day?


or

Someone takes a mortgage of 30 years from a bank. He/she also takes a mortgage life insurance which pays bank the remaining mortgage amount in case he/she dies...who will make sure that he/she doesn't choose to die the next day?

I am not saying that everyone will start doing this or the above situation will wide-spread..but there are some people who do that...

If you have any other solution for the above cases, please do tell me.


3) Third condition is about dependent...Imagine a single widow mom age 28, decided to have a peaceful death and she has a dependent 5 year old child. I am not saying that as she has a child, we should take her "right to die"..i am just asking that she should have necessary arrangements for her child (guarding or financial help etc..etc..) before she die...Now many will argue that no mother would do that for her child but you never know..I have seen mother selling off their child for money...so who can predict anything...
