The problem with this being a secret, behind-the-scenes thing is that there's plenty of scope of serial killers. Harold Shipman got away with being the most prolific serial killer of all time because he was knocking off old people.
This is the argument that needs to be made, because euthanasia is and will go on anyway.
- beobab 10y agoGood point, shermozle. And the problem with it being allowed and acceptable is that older people "don't want to be a burden", and younger people with inheritances in the balance might make a decision based more on greed than on wanting to help. It's a difficult and emotive subject, and you can easily argue both sides convincingly.

How about a Tinder-like app[1] that matches serial killers to hospice patients on a morphine-only contract. The 'killers' get to pay a fee[2], and part of it goes to the clients' estate. 1. This is a rather macabre thought experiment. My apologies if you are/have a loved one going through hospice care and this offends you. 2. How many laws would this disruptive arrangement break? Sadly the law is behind the curve
