[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't believe most here don't see the slippery slope. 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. [/quote]

Shouldn't people get the choice.  Using one hardship for a select group of people means nothing.  You have no idea the impact illness or mental illness has on others.  I've been in my house for over a month now due to a simple cold.[/quote]

It's about how society values human lives. Sometimes we have to say no because it's important for society to believe life shouldn't be easily disposable. There is a strong argument for the seriously sick and in pain people, but I do not agree that mental health falls into this category so easily. The former is terminal, the latter not always.

Who are you to decide what’s best for others?   With serious mental health, they suffer terribly.  Get out of our bubble.  I don’t want to live homebound for years gasping for air.  Most of these people are hidden in homes, nursing homes or other places rs so you never see the, so it’s easy to say tuff it out, but why should they?   It’s not like someone like you is going around helping making peoples lives better.  [/quote]

And the next step is to declare the mentally ill incompetent and have someone or a board make the decision of MAID for them. Easy peasy. [/quote]

People can’t even be involuntarily institutionalized and you think they’re going to get a lethal injection if we legalize euthanasia.  You aren’t a deep thinker.[/quote]

The Dutch are going to expand euthanasia to cover children who can't legally consent. Seems fine, right?

Cool.  Without delving into the merits, I will only note we aren’t in the Netherlands.[/quote]

The person didn't even bother to read the article they linked to fermenter.

"That included, for example, children with untreatable brain tumours who developed relentless vomiting, screaming, and seizures in their dying phase. Or children with epilepsy resistant to all treatment with tens to hundreds of seizures a day."

In what world is letting kids seize hundreds of times a day until they die preferable. I'm with the Dutch on this.[/quote]
