What does “ the state is much more interested in how you die than in how you live” mean ? What does it mean for American citizen
Leni [432]

Answer:

The meaning behind the statement “ the state is much more interested in how you die than in how you live” is that the government wants to find the major causes of death and reduce them.

The meaning for American citizens is that the government wants to improve their lives.

Explanation:

First of all, this is a very good sociological question, because they allow us to perceive the posture of the government in their attempt to increase its citizens' quality of life. That is the reason why the government wants to know how you die, so they can reduce the unnatural causes of death to increase your quality of life. Also, that is very important for American citizens as the government wants to know the citizens' causes of death to reduce them as much as possible to leave the natural ones alone.
