If no one is ever ready to die, then why do it? By the time this happens we'll more than likely be multiplanetary, and there'd be no incentive to really ever die.

It's less a moral issue than a logical issue - "Let a person contribute to the world until they feel they have nothing else they can do" isn't a terribly unreasonable idea.



Most people have nothing to contribute to the world. Should we kill them off early?


If they feel they have something to contribute, as small as it may be, why would they choose to die? No one would need to kill anyone off.
