It's not like you can drop off anyone for euthanasia, though. From the article, they must
- suffer a "serious or incurable illness" or a "chronic or incapacitating" condition that causes "intolerable suffering"
- be an adult Spanish national or a legal resident
- be "fully aware and conscious" when they make the request, which has to be submitted twice in writing, 15 days apart
- phasnox 6y agoAll of those conditions are easily by-passable except for the "legal resident" one.
- keiferski 6y agoOne and three seem pretty ripe for abuse or creative interpretation.
- aseerdbnarng 6y agoI was not suggesting people would drop their relatives off for euthanasia. Only that given how awfully some people treat their elderly relatives, I get shivers thinking about giving these people the power to coerce a family member into suicide for convenience sake. Nominally you can put in place procedures to mitigate this, but I don’t see how it can be foolproof.
