Oh I'm sure there will be companies that provide a right to die for reasonable price (sized about 70-80 year salary I guess).

Pity I'm not a writer, I think it is a good idea for anti-utopia about the world where people work to get a permission to die.

Office workers on 50th floor will certainly be highly motivated to pay the price. Also, there will be medications which mitigate the urge to die (What's the word? Antipsychotics, I guess).
I agree, there are many details which an author will need to explain. People can be protected by mighty authorities and live in a safe environment. But those medications will be prohibited of course. In other case people just will not be working!
Read The Last Answer. Similar concept.
Very interesting! Thanks for advice!
