What are your thoughts about this?
I've been thinking about this a lot, and I understand that many people could have been saved if only the government was less corrupt, and according to this logic, euthanasia should always be illegal because most people can be saved with better social services, But there's two things to consider:
-
We live in a society – someone has to build up that society. Someone has to get very uncomfortable to make me comfortable, someone has to risk his own life to save others. This world is a very dangerous place and innocent people might find themselves disabled for life for accidents that aren't their fault. Even the most generous society can't prevent this from the evils of the world. Some people would rather quit society than live in it, shouldn't we give them a free pass? They didn't ask to be born in here, why should they be forced to stay?

Ever since the dawn of humanity, humanity failed in creating a non corrupt society (except for very few countries in northern Europe), so expecting governments to be more generous is just unrealistic. Power corrupts. So instead of struggling for social housing, which obviously isn't achieving anything, I don't think we have a choice but to change our struggle from wanting a fair society to giving an exit door to those who don't want to be here. It's not the most ideal thing,but it can still prevent lots of suffering, and we do not have any other option.
