How much agency do you have in regard to the agency of all these other things? (Agency: the capacity of things to do – considering ‘doing’ as an action.)

I have the agency to buy the plastic L plate sign. I used my agency to apply for my L’s and because I passed, I now need an L plate sign. And because the suppliers know there is a demand – a need – they will use their agency to supply. So in a way, their agency is being affected by mine as well?

Euthanasia comes to mind first. Is that an event where we choose to end things? And yet, is death really an end? I guess you end your heartbeat, but you don’t end biology – our body keeps going, decaying, transforming, melting, changing, and then at long last, starting again! Baby maggots, worms, bacteria, soil – growth. So there is no end? We could keep going if we wanted to. Is that it? “Not wanting to” is where we come to a stop? What is a “want”? Is it a choice? Or is it, again, biology…
