I generally support the right for people to choose euthanasia under appropriate circumstances, but this is a really disappointing and frankly entitled comment.
Countless millions of people are born with or acquire from disease or injury chronic illnesses and conditions that can significantly impact their quality of life. Some of these are treatable but many in parts of the world these treatments are not accessible.
Most of those people don't off themselves. They move forward in life, as difficult as it might be. And some of them not only find ways to survive life, many make incredibly meaningful contributions to their families, communities and the world at large.
