Evicting the body squatters: A case against euthanasia

November 5, 2012

I do not oppose the legalisation of euthanasia because I fail to understand the desire to circumvent pain and dependence. I oppose it because I believe that it is inherently discriminatory for the state to determine that the desire to end life is in some circumstances a psychiatric condition to be combated, but in other circumstances is a rational choice to discontinue a life that is seen as holding less value.
