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.

    I agree with yoy, but further: I think that benefits to individuals are benefits to society.

      Billionaires count as individuals and benefits to them don’t necessary benefit the society.

        But you make a good point: not every benefit to an individual necessarily also benefits society. I just think the framework of individuals being able to decide for themselves (i.e., voluntaryism) does benefit society.

        I disagree. I believe voluntaryism (essentially the non-aggression principle) would make the world better, and that must include every person. Perhaps a lot of how a billionaire acts would also need to change to fall within voluntaryism - it depends on the individual person. But regardless, I think that within a voluntary framework if someone wanted to kill themselves, they should have that right - and that would benefit society as a whole.
