If you were required to be an organ donor, you’d save lives while setting yourself free. You’ll also give someone else a chance at taking the spot you had at work and your apartment.

    No. You’d create perverse incentives where people would be shunned by society for refusing to kill themselves.

    Instead, we eliminate work-as-a-necessity by meeting everyone’s “needs” and transform society to work-as-a-luxury: Employment isn’t for meeting our essential survival needs, but for our social wants.

    As for the “apartment”: We have sufficient quantity of vacant housing that every homeless person in the country could be housed today, and even if there weren’t, it would be easy to build. What’s lacking is the motivation to do it.

      If the majority of society wants you gone, your death would benefit them. Unfortunately not everyone is capable of being loved.

      But I agree with the rest.
