[QUOTE="Latinus, post: 43426, member: 185"] Not only I support antinatalism, but I also support that suicide shouldn't be taboo and that people should be free to take their own lives without being judged. Suicide being stigmatized is a mix of religion + moral obligation as you pointed. There's the idea that anyone that commits suicide will go to hell. I'm not sure if the bibble really say it or if it was something that the catholic church coined to better control the masses (there's nothing worse than the idea of being eternally punished in an extremely hot place). Social conditioning - we're expected to celebrate life, so when someone commits suicide, (s)he is kind of broke of that social conditioning we're programmed to follow. Family pressure also plays a big role. The first argument against suicide is "your parents/family will suffer, you're being selfish for making them suffer", well, I think it's even more selfish to think someone HAS to live just to feed your feelings and ego. Life in itself is a prision (even if you're born rich and chad, bad things might happen and the fragility of humans and all social condicionings also applies to them, even if they have the resources and social credit to make them more tolerable), most people around the world have bad and limited lives, so suicide gets rid of all this suffering and boring mundane existence.
