That means that you're wrong to say anecdotes aren't data. An anecdote is a single data point, but a single data point is all you need to disprove an absolute (like the one you just gave). One person's anecdote that they would voluntarily choose euthanasia is sufficient data to prove you wrong.

Please kindly find a quote from me saying I'm glad I didn't die. I don't think I have ever said that. Anywhere. In two fucking decades. And I sure as hell haven't said it in this conversation.
- awillen 4y agoNo. I didn't say anywhere that it's impossible that someone could want to die and change their mind. You're really missing a basic understanding of logic here.
- ivalm 4y agoWhy would they lose? The discussion is an absolute about preference to die, not about change of that preference by someone who didn’t die. Also, not hard to imagine that there would be some people whose preference didn’t change. They just suffered longer and then died anyways. This is common with terminal cancers.
