    That we failed people? I just did.

    To accept people want to cease to exist? No. Understand it, respect it, tolerate it if to mitigate unreasonable suffering, yes.

    Accept it just because, no. Life is not cheap, discardable or disposeable. So, no.

        And even children, if faced with health conditions with no hope or chance of improvement or cure.

        I’m not against that. Your life, you should - you are - the only one with a word on how to dispose of it.

        But to contemplate death because you see no other option for a life worth living, because society, family, friends, whatever failed you, is not the purpose of euthanasia.

        Life is worth living.

          I take it you’re pro-life and oppose abortions too? Obviously euthanasia wouldn’t be an option for you, you believe ‘life is worth living’ and a ‘precious gift’ and all that bullshit.

          Life is only worth living for those privileged enough to enjoy it; and those with this privilege are going to be fewer and fewer as we progress further into late stage capitalism, fascism, ww3, resource depletion and climate collapse.

          It’s nice that you’re having such a great time here, but to deny those who aren’t the right to a safe death justecause you can’t comprehend their suffering -is willfully ignorant and will be actively harmful if this ever becomes something we can vote for.

          Every adult who wants access to euthanasia should have access. No ifs, no buts.

            I voted in favor of the end of criminalization of abortion in my country; it was the first vote I ever cast and am proud of it.

            Not that you asked or even deserve a polite answer after that tirade but I actually saw my mother waste away, for years, as a cancer ate her bit by bit. I don’t wish suffering of any kind to any one, so fuck you and your presuppositions.

            And if this answer grants me a ban, I will wear it proudly.

            It’s a shame and a disgrace we, as a species, came to the point we are today but if we are to blame anyone - here’s my advice - let’s start by getting our asses from the couch, walk to the nearest mirror and curse at the face staring back at us.

            I’m fed up with people that by default take the position that everything is lost and there is no hope. So, again, fuck you and fuck off with that mindset.

            Be politically active, stand up for your rights, unionize, talk to other people, meet like minded people, create some change, even if small. Actually do something.

            Stop judging for a first.

            Did I engage you in bad faith? Refused to answer your questions? I just hold different views from you and will fight to keep them, if necessary at the my own life’s risk.

            I’ll repeat it again: I do not want the life of anyone, by default, viewed as discardable or disposable. That is an horrendous way to approach life.
