True.

theyre non-living committees

The problem with assisted suicide, is that it provides a perverse incentive, especially in socialized health care since it is cheaper to kill someone than treat them.

I think the problem with assisted suicide is that it's suicide.

cut cost and waste

agree dueybear

We also used to agree as a society that suicide was a terrible thing. Now it’s like “feeing sad? Just kill yourself. Here, I’ll help you”

then add in their projected tax revenue from the patient if allowed to live.

comes in negative? off he goes

lol

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.

Yep, Latin Americans have fairly low rates of suicide.

hmmm maybe the Catholicism aint so bad after all lol

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

damn reliable fallacy it is, tho

well if you have sufficent evidence with your argument, then respond with the fallacy fallacy

not every slippery slope is a slippery slope fallacy

Depends on the religion, but family and religious devotion tend to result in lower suicide rates.
In East Asia however, religiosity is linked with higher suicide, but that is because of the honor oriented basis of religions like Shintoism, Buddhism and Taoism and the belief that dying is like a respawn command (you reincarnate)

indeed. different culture around it

The 'non-existent' death panels. 😠😠😠😠

Every progressive position hurts the poor and benefits the rich.

Open borders, assisted suicide, socialized healthcare, all of these put additional pressures on the poor.

I like that assisted suicide is only a bad idea because muh poorsies

Tell them the death tax from euthanized rich people will be distributed to the poor
