By whose definition? Not by the Right to Die movement. How is the value
of a terminally ill persons life any less valuable than, say, Bill
Gates? By some transhumanist theory, by all accounts we could easily be
living in a pocket universe simulation run by a quantum computer in
another universe. By this definition, the value of life here is pretty
meaningless.
