Daily prompts on life and death
No photo challenge this week, wasn't inspired by the topic. But as you can see from the title, I found 2 interesting prompts. #149 about life, #148 about death – at large!
So, to life… on other planets! That's a topic covered on the Contact blog as well, so it probably was in the air because of those worms… Like I said, I did write some sci-fi. And of course I do believe in life on other planets. In my novels it's mostly human, but sometimes I can make up non-human intelligent lifeforms.
It would be selfish to think we're alone in the universe. Which doesn't mean we're going to meet thore other people tomorrow or on any specific, prophetic date, because maybe THEY don't want to meet us until we clean up our act! 
I also believe in different planes or dimensions. We're in the 3D plane, but I'm sure there are more and with life in them. Eventually we'll get there too. Superior civilizations know better than to interfere with us, like we did to our own minorities and less "civilized" populations (Spaniards in South America, anyone?).
About the next topic, should people have the right to commit suicide, sure, why not. But suicide is a very selfish act IMO, unless it's euthanasia. If I were stuck to some hospital device that keeps me alive as a vegetable in the hope that maybe some day I'll wake up or if I have some illness that gives me a lot of physical pain, I'd definitely want to end that ASAP.
But other forms of suicide are not an option for me. You might think that nobody loves you on this plane, but it's never true. Somebody somewhere does care if you live or not. And even if I consider death a journey to a better place (that's why I don't have problems in "letting go" somebody else, this world is way too crazy for my tastes) I'm certainly not going to consciously looking for it.
But I understand the topic is controversial. We had a case of euthanasia with people jumping at the father who asked to take his daughter out of her misery. I thought he did the right thing! But the Catholics hated it and it divided the country in two factions…
Anyway, these are my thoughs on these topics! Feel free to add yours…
