Words cannot express how vile your opinion is on this topic.
So, you think it's "kind" to let humans that are essentially nothing but a lump of flesh to live in a bed 24/7/365?
That's not life. It's torture and cruel.
I'm not gonna kill someone else cus because I think its better for them. thats not my fucking call.
Deadass IMAGINE giving people the authority to just- do such fucking things, Imagine giving the government the power to do these things. Who in the actual fuck has the authority to make such a decision???
Medical panels already control decisions for authentication of treatments, surgeries, etc. There are places where assisted suicide is an acceptable standard. Euthanasia is just another avenue. I believe it's a kinder and more dignified option.
Keyword ASSISTED SUICIDE. meaning there is consent from the patient themselves that they want to die. Even then I DO NOT TRUST AMERICA with implementing a system like that. Dumbass country will 100% find a way to fuck it up astronomically. Anywhere else I'd be like "Yea ok maybe, prolly not but maybe." Here??? fuck no- God no, absolutely not. Lets not give hospitals (they already screw us over quite a bit) or the government the ability to just be like "yeap, they're a loss cause. Put em down." with no consent from the family or loved ones.
