Thats a spicy one. I fully agree in principle, but I’m wary of the reality.
I’ve already seen a bunch of scare stories about doctors in Canada trying to force it onto patients who don’t want it. I can’t imagine its got to that point already, but the fear is real.
Also when it was my turn to do it to my cat it took me about 2 weeks of “maybe tomorrow we’ll see” putting off the inevitable. I didnt even really like the cat that much and it still hurt too much to do it when it needed done. I couldnt imagine being strong enough to make that decision for a parent or sibling.
100% the correct take in theory, in practice we’ll need to find a way to make sure sensible compassionate people are in charge every step of the way, which I’m not sure is truly possible to guarantee
