My point exactly. The real issue is not euthanasia, but the author is trying to had to make it seem like it.
As for the abuses, of course they should be addressed, directly. Not indirectly by outlawing euthanasia.
- rini17 4y agoBut it is nowhere proposing to outlaw euthanasia, do I miss something?
- gorjusborg 4y ago> was forced into euthanasia > applied to die > resorted to euthanasia The article paints euthanasia as a negative. The implication is that it must be solved. Oh, and it recently became legal. What's the obvious solution? The author doesn't write the words 'Outlaw Euthanasia', but do they really need to? For someone making the case for strengthening social support for people who are choosing to die due to poverty, they are focusing on euthanasia a whole lot.
- rini17 4y agoManipulating or outright coercion of people in dire situation toward euthanasia is abuse, full stop. They could do something else and help them but now that the legal avenue opened, they do this instead. We must not criticize this? Regardless whether euthanasia itself is negative or neutral or positive.
