    You shouldn’t draw conclusions about others from yourself.

    Some people might still value what they have. And who are you to tell another what others should do with their live?

      They aren’t telling other people what to do, they are in favor of having the ability to decide. Euthanasia baing illegal is deciding everyone who is terminally ill must have a slow and agonizing death.

        That’s not what was written:

        • What are flaws of allowing anyone to euthanize themselves?
        • People might feel pressured to kill themselves.
        • And what is wrong with that?

        That is exactly the opposite of giving people the option to choose. It’s pushing them into a given direction.

        And just for the record: I watched my Great grandma wither away in a senior home while asking to be let go. I would have gladly given her peace if it was legal. But it has to be the person’s own choice. Free from others influence and pressure.
