"I admit, knowing where to draw the line, and who gets to draw it, is difficult"

That's the hard part. 

I also think it is symptomatic of and promotes a culture that doesn't value life beyond individualistic notions of self... but a person should have value to the community even if they themselves no longer value their own life 

I'm not someone who thinks life should be saved at all costs, i.e. I believe that sometimes you can unplug the machine

But I also don't think people should kill themselves out of subjective notions that their life is no longer worth living

I admit, knowing where to draw the line, and who gets to draw it, is difficult

It would be cheaper for the tax payer to pay for death than social security probably.

What's one of your more controversial opinions?

I am not against medically assisted dying but I would rather the taxpayer doesn't have to pay for it. That being said if we are being cold and merely economical here it costs a lot less to suicide someone than it does to keep a dying person alive.
