Reply to comment by copenhagen120 in A renewed push to legalize ‘medical aid in dying’ by d5dq

Look, I've been through similar circumstances. I would've never wished for that person to feel it necessary to kill themselves to avoid any burden of mine or somebody else's. As soon as that pressure exists, it can't be ethical suicide.

And, unless every case of medical suicide is undergone by a person 100% able to consent to such, legalizing this process amounts to state sponsored murder.

THEY ARE GOING TO DIE AN EXCRUCIATING DEATH.

Why are you so in favor of state-sponsored torture?

We literally euthanize our pets when their time is done so they don’t have to suffer.

Why can’t you have that compassion for a human, who’s going to die anyways, and who wants to be able to go out on their own terms.
