So I just voted on a referendum here for/against legalising euthanasia. What are my chapos thoughts on the matter?

I’m torn. Not being alive to see through the climate apocalypse or terminal illness sounds pretty good, but this has to exist under capitalism and a healthcare system that’s underfunded.

Disability rights groups always come out against bills like this, and it does seem like it could easily lead to abuse.

Could this lead to less funding for palliative care? Is a young person with non-responsive depression a valid context for euthanasia (wouldn’t be legal yet but has been added to the law in other countries like Belgium)?

Thoughts?

    Now that I've got that out of my system... It's a tough one. On one hand I feel like people should be able to exit in peace if they really want to. On the other hand, it is the social bonds of a healthy society that prevent the impulse of self-destruction in the first place (in most cases imo), which is something we do not have.
