Oh please, shut up. Are you 16 year old? I bet you are. Parents raised you up, fed you and your mother gave birth to you. YOU BETTER MAKE THEM HAPPY. Now I get the idea who you are, immature brat. When you grow up you'll get better idea how to treat your parents, until now you get zero respect.

LOL

I'm an adult.

I'm even a parent.

YOU were the one who stated people should stay alive to spare their parents the pain of their death.

I disagree.

I think that we should create a society in which people are not compelled to choose death over living another day, or allow people to make that choice with impunity.

And I mean allow them to make the choice to end their life, allow them legal access to the means to do so and not lock them up in an institution and drug them out of their minds if they choose to act on their choice.

Saying somebody ALREADY has the freedom to choose suicide while knowing that if they do choose it the state can lock them up like a dog if they make that choice means that you know they don't have freedom.

I'm sorry that your child has such a moronic mother. What if your child comes to you saying that he doesn't want to live and wants to kill himself? By your own logic you'd approve it and even assist him. Right? If he is miserable with such an idiot mother, then why not? Why he would give you any repsect? Why he should make you happy as a parent? By your own logic your child doesn't have to do anything for you. Your a mother and you say the losing of child is secondary. Either you're lying that you have a child or you are messed up in your head.

In some countries in Europe, they started off this way, as to give dignity and relieve suffering. Now, newborns with disabilities are regularly getting euthanized, old people are pushed to the so called "death with dignity", and many people who are NOT terminally ill are voluntarily getting themselves euthanized.

The slippery slope is well greased.
