Suicide Club (2018)


This book is confusing and unrelatable, there’s a lot of confusing moments due to the technical terms used, that I failed to remember. Despite that, I continued on because of it’s an interesting concept that got me thinking and I would love to know your thoughts.

This is what the book is about (Extracted from Goodreads):
Lea Kirino is a “Lifer,” which means that a roll of the genetic dice has given her the potential to live forever—if she does everything right. And Lea is an overachiever. She’s a successful trader on the New York exchange—where instead of stocks, human organs are now bought and sold—she has a beautiful apartment, and a fiancé who rivals her in genetic perfection. And with the right balance of HealthTech™, rigorous juicing, and low-impact exercise, she might never die.

But Lea’s perfect life is turned upside down when she spots her estranged father on a crowded sidewalk. His return marks the beginning of her downfall as she is drawn into his mysterious world of the Suicide Club, a network of powerful individuals and rebels who reject society’s pursuit of immortality, and instead chose to live—and die—on their own terms. In this future world, death is not only taboo; it’s also highly illegal. Soon Lea is forced to choose between a sanitized immortal existence and a short, bittersweet time with a man she has never really known, but who is the only family she has left in the world.

Question:
Would you be part of those who pursuit immortality or would you do it on your own terms? Why?

My answer:
Personally, it heavily depends on the people I love. If it allows my love ones to be alive and healthy, I don’t mind immortality. If due to a certain issue and they’re gone, I would do it on my terms then.
