Freud reasoned that every person has an unconscious wish to die. Life can be a painful and exhausting undertaking, and can deliver more pain that pleasure for most people. Death promises release from this perpetual struggle.
If you believe in the death instinct as Freud called it, you could argue that the government has no right to infringe on matters so personal.
And so I believe this equation should not have to be made.
