It reminds me of one of the arguments against assisted suicide, particularly for disabled people. If the option is there, people start to question why you're not taking it (e.g. if you were extremely disabled, why wouldn't you use assisted suicide. If you're overweight, why aren't you using Ozempic).
- DrillShopper 2y agoThis is probably the most ridiculous false equivalence I've ever seen on this site.
- cjrp 2y agoCould you explain why?
- DrillShopper 2y agoComparing assisted suicide where the goal is to end your life with taking a drug that's generally recognized as safe to lose weight is ridiculous.
