 +**In the beginning, there was zoe: the indestructible force of life that exceeds any individuation. From zoe, liberal humanism hewed the subject – that fragile creature of finitude – and gave it supreme importance. But when the subject dies, life continues; what, then, are we to make of suicide?​**\\

Liverpool) “Deciding on Death: Conventions and Contestations in the Context of Disability” Bioethical Inquiry (2008) 5:209–219 DOI 10.1007/​s11673-007-9074-1

 +My point is that all that has so . . . . ([36], p. 8)
 +
 +**We are always already committing suicide – not from terminal illness or an excess of suffering, but because it is in our nature to die. PAS is a mode through which we style our deaths in a manner that affirm zoe – it marks a virtual potential that can disintegrate all notions of the subject as such.**\\
 +**__Braidotti 9__** (Rosi, Distinguished Professor in the Humanities at Utrecht University in the Netherlands,​ founding director of the Centre for the Humanities at Utrecht University and Honorary Visiting Professor in the Law School of Birkbeck College, University of London “Locating Deleuze’s Eco-Philosophy between Bio/​Zoe-Power and Necro-Politics” in Deleuze and Law: Forensic Futures, ed. C. Colebrook, R. Braidotti & P. Hanafin, New York: Palgrave Macmillan, pg. 107-109
 +
 +Life is cosmic energy, simultaneously empty chaos . . . are non-essentialistic brands of vitalism.
 +
 +
 +**The figure who demands PAS as a right represents the ultimate challenge to a legal order bent on death control. The affirmative is the invention of a jurisprudence that calls this right into being.**\\
 +**__Hanafin 9__** (Patrick, Professor of Law at Birkbeck College, University of London, UK. He has been a visiting professor at the School of Law at the University of Porto, Portugal, and at the Law Faculty at the University of Pretoria in South Africa. He has held research fellowships at the European University Institute in Florence and at the Human Rights Program at Harvard Law School, “Rights of Passage: Law and the Biopolitics of Dying” Deleuze and Law: Forensic Futures, London: Palgrave Macmillan Ed.

 +The figure who refuses is a particularly troubling . . . Tripodina, 2001, p. 1727).
 +
 +**This politics of radical and vital affirmation is necessary to interrupt the contemporary necro-political condition that makes extinction inevitable.**\\
 +**__Braidotti 13 __**(Rosi, holds Italian and Australian citizenship,​ was born in Italy and grew up in Australia, where she received degrees from the Australian National University in Canberra in 1977 and was awarded the University Medal in Philosophy and the University Tillyard prize. Braidotti then moved on to do her doctoral work at the Sorbonne, where she received her degree in philosophy in 1981. She has taught at the University of Utrecht in the Netherlands since 1988, when she was appointed as the founding professor in women'​s studies.[1] In 1995 she became the founding Director of the Netherlands research school of Women'​s Studies, a position she held till 2005. Braidotti is a pioneer in European Women'​s Studies: she founded the inter-university SOCRATES network NOISE and the Thematic Network for Women'​s Studies ATHENA, which she directed till 2005. She was a Leverhulme Trust Visiting Professor at Birkbeck College in 2005-6; a Jean Monnet professor at the European University Institute in Florence in 2002-3 and a fellow in the school of Social Science at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton in 1994.

Since 2009 she is a board member of Consortium of Humanities Centre and Institutes, The Posthuman Malden: polity, pg. 110-141

 +This chapter deals with the multi-layered . . . expansion of new '​studies'​ areas in chapter 4. 
 +[Braidiotti continues . . . ]
 +Speaking from the position of an embodied and embedded female subject, capable of reproducing the future … this on-going engagement with the political accountability of posthuman subjectivity.
 +
 +**Thus the plan: The United States should legalize physician-assisted suicide.**\\
 +
 +**The plan is an act of law-as-creation,​ the inauguration of a new world that makes radical change possible. Our becoming-democratic is a affirmative practice of jurisprudence that can reclaim the failures of actually-existingdemocracy **\\

R. Braidotti and P. Pisters London: Bloomsbury, pg. 107-112
 +
 +Finally, if Deleuze-Guattari'​s politics can . . . task of fashioning a genuinely democratic political order. ​
 +
 +**The legalization of PAS shifts the coordinates of medicalization and the life/death distinction – this act is fragile, but so is every emergent clamor for rights. Evaluate this debate not on the immediate effects of implementation but on the tantalizing possibilities that our new right creates.**\\
