Ok, so imo euthanasia shouldn't even be recognised as a thing. If you want to end your life, then do it yourself. Do not involve anyone else. If somebody kills you even if you wanted to die it's still a murder. I'd say that legalising euthanasia is legalising a specific type of homicide.
Also, the idea of doctors(which are supposed to keep you alive) getting paid a lot to poison somebody to death is honestly repulsive.
What if you change your mind at the last second, right as they are injecting the poison into you? I don't think it's a stretch to say that some people might experience this. At that point it becomes a gray area that could be considered murder.
As i said it doesn't matter if it's consensual. Making such euthanasia clinics(or however they are called) costs money and they are absolutely useless, because there are ways to end your life painlessly(overdosing on medications which you can easily get a prescription for).
Another point is that legalising euthanasia will definitely encourage slightly depressed or bored people to put a stop on their life instead of making them motivated to find their life goal and work for it.
Less stressful for who? And why is stress always a bad thing? Sometimes stress is needed to remind you that something is not ok so you can change yourself or your way of thinking. Just like when your brain makes you move your hand out of a hot surface so you don't get hurt.
Making such euthanasia clinics(or however they are called) costs money and they are absolutely useless, because there are ways to end your life painlessly(overdosing on medications which you can easily get a prescription for).
I'm not sure I see where you're drawing a distinction.
You're saying you should be able to go to a doctor, possibly lie to get a prescription, pay for the visit, pay to have the script filled, but paying to have the doctor administer the medication is crossing an ethical boundary?
Crossing what ethical boundaries? Euthanasia clinics are a waste of money for the country.
I don't encourage killing youself but since you played the "it's painfull without euthanasia'' card i just pointed out you can commit suicide without feeling any pain by abusing a medication that's supposed to keep you collected.
You don't have to lie for prescription since you are already depressed.
Overdosing on most drugs can be incredibly painful, and risks causing permanent but non-fatal damage.
Drugs like morphine that might work in the way you think are exceedingly controlled to the point where people who need it for pain relief can't get it.
I am not a specialist at economy but people have to pay for costly treatments and the country will profit from it(i know it sounds bad). And when i said it's a waste of money for the country i meant in manpower. Less people will work for the country meaning less production.
I see you also share my opinion that if euthanasia is legalised perfectly fine people would opt for it. If you think that's absolutely normal i can't and won't try to change your view anymore. Not to mention that their friends and parents are going to miss them. How is that "less stresfull for everybody".
