Amazon Is Knowingly Selling Suicide Kits To Kids (nitter.net)

Carrie Goldberg (@cagoldberglaw)
Last Friday, CBS cancelled a segment about our clients suing Amazon for selling suicide kits to their now deceased kids. CBS’ cowardice gave me renewed clarity about how urgent this litigation is. ?@naomi_leeds 1/

On one level, so what?

Suicide ought to be made painless and convenient for those so inclined.

The Sarcopod is just the thing for the more affluent: https://www.exitinternational.net/sarco/ (I find myself promoting this device whenever the issue of suicide arises.)

As Camus said, "The only serious question in life is whether to kill yourself or not."

Those who fail to arrive at a personal meaning and purpose for their lives might as well snuff it when things go sideways. The bitter irony is that for many people, becoming a parent gives meaning and purpose to life, so when a child decides to commit suicide, he kills a big part of his parents along with himself.

Some atheist once said that we are merely vectors for the DNA molecule, but I don't reduce life, certainly not my own life, to such a mechanical utilitarian purpose. Another way to look at it is that Life wants to grow and expand . . . the purpose of life is the living of it and making of more of it, protecting the living and reducing conditions that lead to suffering.

My sympathies to any parents whose children have killed themselves prior to coming of age. There's no good reason for someone so young to give up to existential despair, given that he's usually not really experienced enough of the horror of existence to make the decision rationally.
