MODERATORS
Evil people can accidentally do humane things under completely evil reasons. The question is always what the victim actually wants.
But I completely respect your ability to make this false comparison and then loudly express concern for it, as reminding us how evil can even coerce people into a bad decision for purely inhumane reasons of cost around the alternatives is a way we can work to avoid that kind of mis-use of this process. We need to be reminded every moment about it.
The moment the state decides if your life is valuable enough or not is the moment we are talking about fascism. It is that simple.
And yes, I'm all for assisted death. But the keyword is assisted. And if you yourself cannot decide if you want to be assisted it just can't happen.
A politician can not decide for you if you deserve to live or not. A life canot be valued. And that was what was implied.
