If people were 100% rational, would the world be better?

RE: If people were 100% rational, would the world be better?
"More fundamentally, if person can be thinking clearly and rationally choose death, couldn't they do the same for life?" Like in what instance? what if we add a moral imperative.

Person x choses death rationally because of moral imperative Z. The moral imperative overcoming the biological imperative? Interesting conversations, just doing a drive by thought injection.
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
