Riassunto

It is philosophically impossible to opt for nonexistence or nothingness because nothing (non-being) can neither be an object of the mind nor will. It simply is not. Existence is infinitely better than nonexistence; hence, whether rationally or instinctively, humans, and in fact, all living beings are wired to opt for life. Option for life is fundamental because human life is who we are. The alternative is option for nonexistence which is rationally at least absurd and at most impossible. Hence, the greatest right is the right to life. The imagined right to actually end our very selves is not only a misnomer, it is impossible. There cannot be an ethical right to terminate human life. Claiming such a right is tantamount to claiming irrelevance of truth and ethics. With an exception of extraordinary situations such as self-defense or defense of more lives, human life should not be ended.
