I totally agree, I do think though that this type of reasoning is good for those that have led otherwise good and impactfull lives (I.E robin Williams) we are ready to mourn the loss and memorialize those that have made a positive impact, but would we extend the same to those of less ideal contribution, is it better to be, if what we are is wretched? Is life inherently worth sustaining or is only a life of good worthy of such dedicated energy.
