As someone who works in the health care field and has a desire to get into palliative care I cannot tell you how much I absolutely despise euthanasia. It is murder. Plain and simple. No one has a “right” to die. There’s no such thing as “death with dignity”. The aim of palliative care is to “live with dignity while dying”.
Where is the dignity in being killed? In being so devalued that people who profess to love you and want to care for you think that sticking poison into your veins is loving? Is merciful? It wasn’t that long ago a certain political party deemed sticking the mentally ill in the back of a truck and gassing them with the CO2 and called that “mercy”.
I consider euthanasia to be worse then abortion, and I friggin’ hate abortion!
With the foetus, there really isn’t any external relationship development, the foetus is only really real to the mother and the abortionists, others outside the mother may grieve the foetus’ loss, but at the end of the day, there’s really no relationship so to speak of. But with euthanasia, that is someone’s mother, father, brother, sister, husband, wife, they’re a friend, a person with many many relationships and social connections, and the only thing people who “love” them think they can do to help them is to kill them? How is that mercy? How is that dignified? To be devalued and murdered by the ones who are supposed to love you?
Whenever I hear a story about someone who is suffering from some awful terminal disease and are in “pain” and want to die, I have to ask, who’s in charge of their palliative care? What pain medications are they on? Becuase there is a raft of options available, both pharmacological and alternative. Killing isn’t health care, it isn’t pallative care, its bloody murder!
Not to mention, look at the mess abortion turned out to be, it was supposed to be “safe, legal and rare”, now we have 1.2 million a year in the USA alone, over 52 million dead since Roe. There’s partial birth abortion (probably despite the ban, who’s going around looking in the bins outside of clinics to check for holes in the back of foeti’ skulls?) There’s the sale of foetus’ body parts, and experimentation on their skin by cosmetic companies, women are forced into abortions and children can get abortions without parental knowledge.
Society made a mess with abortion. How long will it take before “legal euthanasia” turns a mandatory retirement age into a mandatory euthanasia age, how long before its dolled out for a chronic illness, or a mental illness, or for children born with cleft palates or downs syndrome? These things are happening in the Netherlands. Not to mention how hypocritical it is, how many millions have been spent on campaigns to tell teens “don’t kill yourself, your life means something” and then turn around and add “oh, but if you’ve got terminal cancer or Alzheimers, your life is worth about 1/5th of jack sh1t”.
Abortion took out 1/3rd of a generation, how many will euthanasia take out? Though it is fiscally logical, you can’t wipe out 1/3rd of a generation and expect 2/3rds to support 3/3rds of the older generation who are living longer.
This is one heck of a slippery slope we’d do well to avoid.

apalling . . .
BID . . . that any word of the deceitful death-loving-accepting words expressed in the subject line and in parts of this thread take root in any soul in contact with this thread . . . GOD help us all . . . discussion of the evil of euthanasia in our world today is one thing . . . advocating the horrific evil of murder is quite another . . .
