"I find it hard to accept

the contemporary view that [human] life of any kind
no matter how restricted and feeble
is better than no life at all.

The thing doesn't seem to me to be
worth clinging to at all costs, regardless of its quality.

Like an ancient Roman, I would prefer
to get out while I'm ahead..."

John Simpson (famous BBC correspondent and presenter)
in Strange Places, Questionable People.
