Do we have a moral obligation to live for as long as possible?
I&#x27;m reminded of&#x2F;intrigued by Star Trek episodes.<p>How much of our attitude towards end-of-life is &quot;learned&quot; and result of &quot;we have always done it like that&quot;?<p>It&#x27;s easy to imagine a planet&#x2F;culture where people chose to go voluntarily and on their own terms and then everybody celebrates around that.<p>I do think it&#x27;s a high burden on younger generations to pay &quot;up-keep&quot; for older generations, especially when technological advancements are pushing out&#x2F;eliminating natural reasons for dying. How do you justify that especially if one can&#x27;t contribute much to society anymore and maybe didn&#x27;t raise kids on your own?
