@emiliya that's a whole different topic. There was no medical necesity and they didn't go through extensive exploration of other solutions first.

@NerdyPotato It is not medically necessary for patients to die by euthanasia. That is what palliative care is for.
The parents of the Dutch kid didn't love her enough to stay with her. Whatever time they had remaining, they killed. Those who like euthanasia can't be bothered and don't care, not even for their own kid. Euthanasia is scared patients and family members who see them as inconveniences.

@emiliya nobody likes euthanisia. If you believe so, you must be living in a different branch of reality and there's no point in continuing this discussion.

I've just had two friends of mine in the past 6 months go through the process of assisted suicide. They both had cancer, but the process is very streamlined and quick and easy here in Canada, though you have to show reasonable grounds for doing this.
Many Americans come to Canada to go through this process because the States they often live in are so ultra conservative that they're governing authority would rather see someone suffer like a rabid dog than to witness some licensed physician put them out of their misery in 3 easy steps.
You don't need a medical plan to have this done in Canada, but we still take cash here.. $ ..and VISA is also accepted if you're using plastic.. but not American Express.

...but you have to remember that you live in the USA and what is considered 'normal' and 'universally available' around the world, isn't necessarily embraced by America's evangelical base. Therein lies the dead-end of the road for most Americans for most things in life that the rest of the world simply takes for granted as being readily available because it makes sense.

@Jackaloftheazuresand and that's why not all doctors are open to even consider euthanasia. But those who do, spend a decent time evaluating whether that's really the best option.

@NerdyPotato No they do not. Advocating for life is their baseline and it's an indoctrinated societal view. It doesn't come from any reasoned position
@Jackaloftheazuresand some interpret life as more than a heartbeat though.
