Death with dignity is a human rights necessity. Faced with a continual and inevitable degridation of one's faculties and quality of life, the option to cease consciousness - from a position of informed consent - ought to be an inalienable right. No spouse or parent or child or friend gets to tell me "no" if I'm looking at Alzheimer's and decide I don't want to deteriorate. Yes, all death leaves people behind. But so do breakups. Human connections are fleeting and fragile and we do NOT owe each other unconditional, endless connection.

If being in heaven so fundamentally changed my modes of thinking that I would be immune to boredom or complex emotions that would be murder - the system would have annihilated me and replaced me with some new, derivative person. If it "cured" my autism or ADHD that would be murder too. I don't think "too human" is a reasonable criticism. The show is about what being human is.

The person I was 5 years ago and the person I am now are in many ways radically different. Part of that is developing brain chemestry - I've only just turned 25 - but most of it is the memories I've made and the lessons I've learned from my experiences. That's different from having my neurodivergence magically lobotomized away.

I wanna be clear - I am not opposed to the use of medication to aid in executive function and personal management. A few years ago I had a deep resentment towards my neurodivergencies and would have taken a cure for sure, and was dismissive of many autism self-advocacy groups. But working in special education and childcare has changed my perspective. Non-normative cognition has enabled me, with the support of my coworkers and family and friends, to accomplish some pretty amazing things and help a lot of people. Chidi's compulsion to analyze, his systems-driven thinking, enabled him to restructure the afterlife and uplift his friends.

A person is the sum of their memories and experiences as filtered through their neurochemistry. No other model of selfhood holds fast.

Arist is right. It's like obsessing over scientific accuracy in Doctor Who. It is not what that show is about or cares about and if you're focusing on that, you are not actually watching the show they made.
