I’m disabled and live in Canada where we have medically assisted suicide as a legal option, and some people who are disabled and mistreated by the government that ignores the plight of the less fortunate, feel that government views disabled people as a burden and it would be preferable for society or government for the disabled people to just choose to end their suffering.
Not sure if I believe that, but it sort of makes (twisted, dark) sense.
This is absolutely the primary non-religious argument against euthanasia, and it's a serious one; what happens to the priorities of a healthcare system that "prices in" assisted dying?
Discussions like this have even happened around the Liverpool Care Pathway in the UK.
I don't really know how I feel about it, except to say that my once-strong certainty that I (as someone with no dependents) would choose such a route has been softened by witnessing the astonishing care and dedication in end-of-life care even in a very overstretched NHS.
I just don't think it's fair to suggest that there is a European end-of-life-care industry that would "astroturf" this discussion; those are not the ways in which it operates.
I don't know how you imagine this working, but you should read about the Dignitas operation and the legal and policing framework in which it exists.
