Its an mental ilness, its not normal to wish death for any life form. These termanlly ill people with a lot of pain cant think normally like people who are under heavy drugs and alcohol. So its unfair to assume they really want death. Still it could be abused, people could just kill someone and say he wanted it just because he looked a little bit of emo to the public. And the goverment could claim the same thing if they dont like someones opinion. And so more its abused privatley you will see the goverment stepping in taking controll for who can life and who has to die like nazi germany did. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Action_T4 It really doesnt take much effort thinking ahead where it will be going. |
I really think there is a possibility between "keep everyone alive against their will no matter how much they suffer" and "Nazi death camps" and other forced euthanization.

Here is an interesting case of a guy who suffered horrible burns on practically his entire body. He thought he would die for sure and asked the first person who found him to kill him or give him a gun to kill himself with; the man refused, and rightfully so IMO—an emotional time like that is not a great place for a life-or-death decision. But his months-long treatment was extremely painful. They scrubbed his raw flesh and gave him chemical baths (to stave off infection) on an almost daily basis and he asked for death all throughout this time. He attempted suicide and was stopped. He wanted to get a lawyer to sue the hospital to stop treatment (which would surely have resulted in his death) and was blocked from this. (I am unclear on whether he was just denied access or family assisted hospital in interfering.) He survived, and recovered enough to live on his own although he is blind, hard of hearing, and has little feeling anywhere but the bottom of his feet. He maintains that he should have been allowed to die and that if he was in the same situation again, knowing the treatment was not futile, he would still choose to die, even though he has managed to live for decades after the accident.

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
