a) Do Not Resuscitate clause for all Singaporeans
I agree with the DNR clause, not so much because of the resources needed to keep alive, but because of the following reasons:
1. Let people and their families decide what they want to do with their lives, including how they end.
2. Sometimes, there is more suffering to stay alive than to die. The quality of life may be so poor that the person may prefer death, but somehow, he is kept alive just because others think he should be.
3. This is my personal opinion, but people sometimes value life too much, especially when their lives actually do not have any benefit to the world. I'm not suggesting to gas people or kill them off or that people should be judged by their economic benefits, but rather for people to have a more sensible and logical approach to life and death.
Children never asked to be born, parents never consulted children when they wanted to have them. Perhaps the children created are causing more problems for the world than good. The sadness when death happens is understandable, but please don't be shocked or dismayed or devastated when death happens.
Please also let's not regard our lives and that of our family members as being so precious and great and beneficial to the world either, because unless that person is in the final stages of discovering the cure for cancer, they really are not.
