Let's say a person has a deadly diease, but can't afford medical care, do you think they should be legally allowed to hire a doctor to kill them?

No. It is unethical to limit medical care because of someone's ability to pay.

I do think physician assisted euthanasia should be allowed but the decision to die cannot be driven by finances. That's a recipe for abuse of the poor. As if they don't get enough shit already.

@Doomflower yeah that's true. I can already see it. Richer or middle class people encouraging the poor to end their lives.

Yup, we live in a pretty terrible world
