No but that's their point: you can't do this cause life is tragic.
But supposing we were to live in a ideal world, we'd wish it to be so that every death that occurs happened by the wish of the deceased, in the best comfort that can be offered to them.
- s1artibartfast 3y agoI think that is a very different point than stated. They said “ medically assisted deaths should be 100%”, not that everyone should have full control and choice. This is a very different point. The former takes what a personal preference to be a universal value, and supposes that an ideal world would conform the their preference, not just have choice.
- OrderlyTiamat 3y agoThey clarified below that this is what they meant for what it's worth. I'm not sure what position you're ascribing to them, that we should have everyone killed by doctors at birth? I mean that could work if interpretated literally for the stated case, but who in their right mind would believe that?
