what if guving up that liberty, say when you are about to die for it could be seen as a stratrgy to rest and regroup and live to fight another day, maybe with better odds or resupply or to wait for an ally who is on the way to take your back?
There may be some variation on that point. The original CLE was created within a Catholic framework, so naturally the Church's opposition to euthanasia was incorporated. Not looking at it theologically, but just practically, there are fears that euthanasia could change from being patient-decided to family-decided, doctor-decided, or ultimately state-decided. That would be my main fear: that it could be morphed into a societal expectation that old and ill people should be euthanized so they aren't a burden anymore. Even if it's not forced, it could be a social or family pressure that's applied to make people do it who otherwise would not have.
You’re allowed to start new threads touting irrelevant political parties, let this one Rest In Peace.
I think I am in the 10% opposed to abortion and the death penalty. Assisted suicide at least has the desire of the person dying and some illnesses are worse than death. I would not want to impose a legal ban on such a decision. But I am still open to the other view.
