  Second Childhood by Clifford D. Simak - Achieving immortality is only half of the problem. The other half is knowing how to live with it once it's been made possible—and inescapable! 
  You did not die. 
  There was no normal way to die. 
  You lived as carelessly and as recklessly as you could and you hoped that you would be lucky and be accidentally killed. 
  You kept on living and you got tired of living. 
  "God, how tired a man can get of living!" Andrew Young said. 
  John Riggs, chairman of the immortality commission, cleared his throat. 
  "You realize," he said to Andrew Young, "that this petition is a highly irregular procedure to bring to our attention." 
  He picked up the sheaf of papers off the table and ruffled through them rapidly. 
  "There is no precedent," he added. 
  "I had hoped," said Andrew Young, "to establish precedent." 
  Commissioner Stanford said, "I must admit that you have made a good case, Ancestor Young. Yet you must realize that this commission has no possible jurisdiction over the life of any person, except to see that everyone is assured of all the benefits of immortality and to work out any kinks that may show up." 
  "I am well aware of that," answered Young, "and it seems to me that my case is one of the kinks you mention." 
  He stood silently, watching the faces of the members of the board. They are afraid, he thought. Every one of them. Afraid of the day they will face the thing I am facing now. They have sought an answer and there is no answer yet except the pitifully basic answer, the brutally fundamental answer that I have given them. 
  "My request is simple," he told them, calmly. "I have asked for permission to discontinue life."

  The Madness of Lancelot Biggs by Nelson S. Bond - There was more at stake than just a football game for Lancelot Biggs and the crew of the Saturn. So Biggs made a bargain; his rocket emblem in exchange for a new uranium condenser—and how it worked! 
  We had barely cleared Lunar Three and I was taking final instructions from Joe Marlowe, the port Sparks, when my plates dulled out and there I was staring at a blank expanse of metal. So I said, "Merdejo!" which is Universal for a naughty word, and started looking for the trouble. I was on my hands and knees under the audio bank when Cap Hanson came into my control turret. 
  He said, "You lose somethin', Sparks?" 
  "Two minutes ago," I told him. "Take a look around. If you see something bright red and covered with hairy spikes, don't step on it. It's my temper." 
  The Skipper sighed. "If my troubles," he declaimed, "was as mild as your'n, I'd do cartwheels from here to Venus. Sparks, you got a copy of the Space Manual here, ain't you?" 
  I nodded toward my bookcase; he found the reg book and leafed through it carefully. Finally he shook his head. 
  "It ain't here," he gloomed. "Are you sure this is the latest edition?" 
  "Just what are you looking for?" I asked him. 
  "I was kinda thinkin'," he said hopefully, "there might be a paragraph givin' a space commander permission to boil his First Mate in oil, or cut him into small cubes an' feed him to the octopussies. But the waffle-fannies what wrote that book--" 
  I knew, then. It was the same old complaint. Our lanky and incredibly omniscient friend, Lancelot Biggs, whose genius for getting ye goode shippe Saturn out of tight spots was surpassed only by his ability to fester Cap Hanson's epidermis, was back in the soup. 
  I said, "But, sweet comets, Cap, what's he done now? He hasn't had time to do much. We've just pulled our Ampie out of Earth's H-layer."
