Saying 'No' to life is all very well,
a fine ethical choice for anti-natalists
who strive for a belief in self control,
for themselves first, then as an example
of a wider sense of choice for others.
But such an affirmation of choice
is very different to saying 'Yes' to death,
because for everyone death is a state
of absence that does not invite any response,
only the final loss of choice to respond to.
What value the voluntary absence of voice
when in life we don't know how to be silent?
