      “Polarizing” doesn’t mean “having almost everyone disagreeing with you”. It means “many people agree with you and many people disagree with you”.

      But if you said “people in poor health should HAVE THE OPTION of being euthanized” then that would qualify as polarizing

      Why stop there? Anyone that requires any help of any kind from any other person should be immediately executed. We’re rugged individualists, not a bunch of socialist pussies!

      Mead said that the first sign of civilization in an ancient culture was a femur (thighbone) that had been broken and then healed. Mead explained that in the animal kingdom, if you break your leg, you die. You cannot run from danger, get to the river for a drink or hunt for food. You are meat for prowling beasts. No animal survives a broken leg long enough for the bone to heal.

      I get that you are saying that after a person becomes a financial burden on the population that we should get rid of them and save the resources, but that’s very short thinking and it’s a very selfish stance and I get why you’re sharing it now because the question was what’s the most polarizing thing you’ve said and my response is very polarized because I feel like you and anybody who agrees with you should be excommunicated from society and put onto a small island somewhere where we never have to deal with them ever again.

          I’m not gonna kill someone else cus because I think its better for them. thats not my fucking call.

          Deadass IMAGINE giving people the authority to just- do such fucking things, Imagine giving the government the power to do these things. Who in the actual fuck has the authority to make such a decision???

          • Medical panels already control decisions for authentication of treatments, surgeries, etc. There are places where assisted suicide is an acceptable standard. Euthanasia is just another avenue. I believe it’s a kinder and more dignified option.

              Keyword ASSISTED SUICIDE. meaning there is consent from the patient themselves that they want to die. Even then I DO NOT TRUST AMERICA with implementing a system like that. Dumbass country will 100% find a way to fuck it up astronomically. Anywhere else I’d be like “Yea ok maybe, prolly not but maybe.” Here??? fuck no- God no, absolutely not. Lets not give hospitals (they already screw us over quite a bit) or the government the ability to just be like “yeap, they’re a loss cause. Put em down.” with no consent from the family or loved ones.
