    True, the whole “Kill the poor and pretend its medicine.” thing though… that’s much worse.

    No really they made a whole commercial trying to glamorize it and everything.

      Well it’s mostly that at least a certain group with disabilities has access to a way out when life is too harsh. It is to limit unneeded suffering. A respectful way to end one’s life should be available to everyone, but that is a hard pill to swallow for many neurotypical / religious people. So it gets limited to a certain group, and then they use that compromise as an argument…

      You don’t decide whether you are born, at least let us have more control over our own death. In a progression of our human civilization, this should count for everyone.

      Framing this in a bad way is exactly what some conservative politicians and media want.
