To me, it’s unethical.
To me it’s unethical to let someone suffer until they finally pass.
That’s a false dichotomy.
The principle of double effect allows one to attempt to relieve suffering with treatments having high mortality rates.
Euthanasia is a cost-saving measure to avoid the high costs of palliative care for non-palliative patients, and in the examples cited in the article – healthcare in general.
As a disabled person who does not make enough money to exist, this is how I see it for social programs as well. Keep the sick and injured in a constant state of anxiety and neediness until they finally break and ask for maid. It’s easier to get maid than it is to be respected as a human being.
That being said, also as a sick/ disabled person I am glad maid does exist.
