I wish that euthanasia and assisted suicide was never invented.

I have good news and bad news.

The good news is that it wasn't invented.
The bad news, it's natural.

This wish reminds me that 'A World Without Zinc' bit from the Simpsons.



I didn't realize just how important various cyanides were until I read about it because of your post.

It'd still be nice if we didn't spill them so often.
I'm curious about what (or which) angle(s) you're approaching wanting to delete cyanides from, if you're willing to explain further. :nerdy:

Anyways, I wish the surveillance state wasn't invented, or at least was much more restricted.

well I think God invented cyanide. The reason why I said I wish cyanide was never invented is because it has been used to poison people thoughout history.

Wouldn't God more have created the physics that make the various cyanide compounds a thing, rather than inventing every chemical one by one as a distinct conscious effort?

The latter seems so much more mundane and less incredible.

I believe God invented both the physics and every natural chemical.
