By all means, if you want to encourage the person to live because you feel they have potential, then do so. But I just feel it's unfair to deny them the opportunity of simply dying painlessly. What if they don't WANT to get over their tendencies? What if they don't care about doing anything productive? What if they…
That's just the thing though.. It should be up to the individual to decide whether or not their life is protecting... And no, I'm not suggesting that people who are of no utility should be gotten rid of or anything of the sort!

Certainly, I believe that it should be discouraged, if only because of how it would affect the person's loved ones, but who are you to tell someone that they HAVE to live if they really don't want to?
So you would deny someone the right to be painlessly euthanased, if that's what they desire, because of your misplaced "conviction"?
Damn.. that's some spicy spooge.
I hope people DO deal with it, by pirating the fuck out of it and hacking the servers until they crash. Maxis deserves those consequences and MORE.
