Once you decide whether you want to live is a balance of the pain vs happiness in life and all those who really suffer are eliminated from this earth, them even the mediocre sufferings of today will seem unbearable to you in the future. Because people look to others as sources of comfort and inspiration, once those who live hard lives are gone, the entire center shifts. If you get into an accident today and lose your legs but you see all these examples of people who have persevered and found fulfilling lives following similar accidents, that gives you strength to go on. If all these people offed themselves then you will also likely quickly decide to off yourself were you to suffer that accident.
It’s also interesting how people are unable to step away from their privileged bubble to understand how this will play out at scale across populations.
The poor, unintelligent, mentally ill, and other vulnerable populations that progressives claim to care about will certainly be persuaded to kill themselves at much higher rates than the rich and privileged. One of young women who elected to kill herself in Canada said as much when she admitted she would not choose if the state medical services provided better care.
Mutually assisted dying is just another step into eugenics, continuing the slide that began in the 1960s of state sanctioned killing of the weak and vulnerable.
