Yea i understand exactly what you mean

You open the door to this shit, you can't predict what's going to come out.

or maybe you can, but no one listens

if ptsd and depression qualifies for assisted suicide, then that covers a huge portion of the armed services.

a fair amount of car accident victims as well

There's your progressive utopia.

"bitch your treatment is costing us too much. here take a nap!"

“Don’t be ridiculous there’s no such thing as death panels”

And it effectively puts into law that life is one signature away from being ended, which opens up room for people being manipulated into taking their own lives.

And leaving no legal recourse.

and if theyre organ donors..... heeeellooo dystopian scifi

ala repo men

remember this is exclusively a first world problem

not a problem in honduras

The devaluation of life is simply reaching it's logical path after on demand abortions.

Trying to predict the outcomes of opening the door usually just gets rebuffed with "slippery slope fallacy"

damn reliable fallacy it is, tho
