Because it is our life.

Because that is not our life.

So there are cases where we do have the right to take someone else's life?

(July 25, 2012 at 12:58 am)Godschild Wrote: Many diseases are killers and we have the right to kill them if we can, so there is no need to take our own life.

A disease is not a human. In fact, a disease is not even alive.

Irrelevant. You have the right to die because it is the logical corollary of your right to live.
