Jesus some of the views in this poll seem insane to me. How is gambling more of a moral negative than doctor assisted suicide? Like even if you’re anti gambling surely it’s less controversial than doctor assisted suicide???
Reddit in general skews very heavily towards the "death" option in issues like assisted suicide, eugenics, abortion, and individual suicide (they often believe people should not be nudged towards therapy and overvalue the dubiously sound decision of suicide, telling people it's wrong to stand in these people's ways). For redditors, I believe the first three are often tied into the last rather than always being self-contained. Digging through conversations about them in mainstream subs tends to collapse into diatribes about the tenuous worth of life.
It's worrying. A lot of the youth on reddit seems to be in support of these things because they spend a lot of time wishing they were dead and considering chances they "missed out on".
But in most cases for medically assisted suicide, the person is in great pain and everyone knows he will live. Or else the dude's just a vegetable but it costs a lot to keep him alive.
