    That’s not what was written:

    • What are flaws of allowing anyone to euthanize themselves?
    • People might feel pressured to kill themselves.
    • And what is wrong with that?

    That is exactly the opposite of giving people the option to choose. It’s pushing them into a given direction.

    And just for the record: I watched my Great grandma wither away in a senior home while asking to be let go. I would have gladly given her peace if it was legal. But it has to be the person’s own choice. Free from others influence and pressure.
