I was really just looking to mess with the guy I was responding to, who was alluding to a big T_D conspiracy about dead people all being signed up to vote for Liberals.
Yeah, republicans are more about rigging the system through gerrymandering, spreading disinformation, racial disenfranchisement, and large-scale election fraud instead of wasting their time on a few posthumous votes.
Well, a corpse can't decide to kill itself the just as a suicidal person can't, and it's just as illegal to take organs without consent from a dead person as a suicidal one, so it's more like they have the same rights
I think that makes sense. Many people seem to not care enough to go and sign up for organ donation, but the people who actually care and dont want to be a donor will be motivated to opt out. Smart
I actually had a moment in highschool where a friend of mine and I were like "hey, since we both don't give a shit what happens to us after we die we should become organ donors" and were pretty surprised to find out we already were lol
No it is far less illegal to take organs without consent from a dead person than a suicidal one. One of those acts might not even be criminal in some contexts.
Well its not much wrong about it. Laws are rules we put upon ourselves to protect our individual space, without limiting other peoples freedom. This does not exclude your freedom and you overreaching those laws. A lot of people don't understand the literal meaning of the word suicide and thats quite normal bc there are different opinions on how that word should be defined for today's standards.
deliberate killing of oneself," 1650s, from Modern Latin suicidium "suicide," from Latin sui "of oneself" (genitive of se "self"), from PIE s(u)w-o- "one's own," from root s(w)e-(see idiom) + -cidium "a killing," from caedere "to slay" (from PIE root *kae-id- "to strike").
The Latin explanation shows the word suicide referring to killing, which makes the big difference. In recent years people refer with suicide as "ending life". Since most constitutions for countries were written quite a few decades ago, it's quite natural for it to be illegal. Also most religions "prohibit" suicide and most religions were used as fundamentals to write constitutions.
Not really. It seems you have bodily autonomy but changing States is not allowed. A suicidal person is not allowed to take their own life anymore than a corpse is allowed to rise as a zombie and destroy humanity. You can try but in both cases people will do their best to stop you.

So a corpse has more rights over its body than someone who wants to be a corpse :thinking: 10/10 system we live in
