You cannot request dying or not dying.
In some circumstances you can cause or prevent dying.
Dying is not a choice a dying person can undo.
Taking your own life is a different matter, that I don't consider dying as in the context of the question.

It is selfish. Like asking you lover not to leave you or inviting friends to your parties. |

If a person has come to a place health-wise or personally when they see no reason to live, telling them they are loved and needed is still not a problem. If dying is important to them, they'll do it without your permission.

If it's true that people generally release fluids when they die, then no, it is not unfair. Think about it this way: Is it unfair to ask someone not to pee on you? Call me selfish, but I might have somewhere to go after you die.

|  | Love your craft, stay humble, enjoy the journey | | Join Date: Jan 2007 Location: Boston Massachusetts | | | Is it unfair, yes, but then life is unfair. Death is inevitable. As a friend if they're killing themselves with drugs or alcohol or the like then I owe it to them to point it out and try to get them to seek help. If they have an incurable disease, then as painful as it may be to me, I have to support their right to make their own decisions. I long ago decided that I did not want to live life like it was an endurance race, that quality of life was as if not more important then quantity of life.
I should point out that the selfishness of not wanting someone to die is both normal and a good thing. The ability to love and bond is what binds us together.
MM, if this thread was for an actual situation you're going through, good luck.
