"Why did you bring me out from the womb? Would that I had died before any eye had seen me and were as though I had not been, carried from the womb to the grave” (Job 10:18). If Job had access to Dignitas , would he have used it? He certainly yearns for relief in death yet knows that it is God's prerogative to give and take life. His yearning is deeper than mere death, it is a yearning to have never been alive – to undo his own being. His desperation is, in part, the utter hopelessness of being unable to die or to undo his life: “Let the day perish on which I was born... why did I not die at birth... for then I would have lain down and been quiet; I would have slept; then I would have been at rest” (Job 3:3,11-13).
