Religion is certainly one of the main reasons. I had to delete tiktok from my phone because It was outraging to see there how fanatic religious people believe there is no other way to know good and bad than a God being there (and so much more. I have nothing against people who go to religion for peace, but a lot of fanatics are not peaceful at all) they have those fears from their beliefs that become the law for everybody else and it makes no sense.
However, there is another side to this story and has to do with your comment about it being the decision of the patient, not the family. People have been proven to go deep to their evil side when money is on the table, and with all the murders related to the inheritance we have now, who knows how it could escalate, having the option of euthanasia. Can we be sure it's a decision made without extortion?
I think it should be an option, it's not fair to have to suffer because other people are scared or because of the possibility of a criminal attempt to get an inheritance faster, but I get why there is so much hesitance around it.
Yes you are right. The temptation for people to use it to gain financially has to be the biggest argument to me against it. We live in a world where money brings out the very worst in people and unfortunately it would be used to this end, without a doubt. It is such a hard subject isn’t it
Yeah, making it legal and accessible for people who actually need it would take heavy regulations and control to how the decision is communicated. Even to the lengths of eliminating succession of wealth. Idk. It doesn't need to be a big inheritance to people go feral. I've seen it with poor people over an cheap house.
