I'm talking about people that aren't terminally ill that simply are done with life. People that are tired of struggling with finances, mental health issues and people that ridicule them for (wanting attention, You people on here know who you are). People afraid of worrying about how they'll survive when no family or former friends will have anything to do with them. Living on low income, disability due to anxiety and depression because of these issues. Tax payers are getting tired of supporting these people, like me, because they can't work due to stress and anxiety of being around other people.
You are aware that there are some really famous people that fit this criteria, and have gone on to make significant contributions to science, medicine and the arts after being helped through public programs?
Following your criteria, Stephen Hawking should have killed himself after he was diagnosed with Lou Gehrig's disease, the same would have been true for John Forges Nash jr.
Or 80% of combat vets suffering from PTSD, not to mention the number of physically abused women and children also suffering from this particular problem that often causes other problems such as bipolar disorder, depression etc.
Of course there are the vets who are going to the VA (which your tax dollars pay for) for ongoing treatment of health issues directly related to their service to this country.
Aside from the fact that many of the issues that you put forth are often temporary, i.e financial etc, your solution is flawed to say the least.
By your own criteria, children born with either a severe mental of physical impairment should be killed at birth, thus saving the tax payers money that would be paid to provide care and medical treatment for them until they are of an age to contribute in some significant or small manner to the tax revenues of the country.
