That's the whole problem with euthanasia in The Netherlands.
Most would opt for it when they have mental illnesses like Alzheimers or dementia in general but most often they would too ill to be able to make required informed decision. I am glad it's offered because why would someone need to wait until they die? Especially, when the person can't be treated further like when having cancer.
- constantcrying 2y agoI think it is understandable when the person is suffering from a painful and untreatable illness, but can otherwise make their own medical decisions. But that is a completely different scenario, with a mental illness, what you are escaping from is what makes you unable to make the decision.
- wdb 2y agoNo, you escape from living like plant
- constantcrying 2y agoObviously plants can't consent to being killed, what a meaningless argument.
