In very extreme cases an amputation might be the only workable solution. But we as a society will not allow that because we don't care about that person, we only care about that person's potential contributions to society. Same reason we're against mercy killings, and for survival at all costs and quantity over quality of life in every case, because letting someone be horribly tortured is apparently better than losing even the slightest chance that they could survive and contribute a bit more labor and babies to the tribe. Yet we're perfectly willing to put animals out of their misery, because it's no net loss to our own species! It's sick.

I wish people would actually use their brain instead of acting entirely on instinct.

You.... Think that people are not disturbed by how conveniently and easily animals are put down? There are people who think it's wrong, and that's why no-kill shelters and fosters exist. That's why animal sanctuaries exist.

Your proposal for euthanasia for humans is one step away from culling anyone deemed 'imperfect' or 'sickly'. It would be no different than the many practices of killing 'cursed' people in primitive societies. Slippery slope? Look at current year. It's all the slippery slope arguments coming true and more.

By mercy killings I mean like if someone is being eaten alive or stuck in a fire and can't be rescued, it shouldn't be against the law to kill them quickly so they at least don't suffer. Especially if they ask to be, which does happen. It's not for killing undesirables.

I had let the conversation go until this was posted today, with Canada showing what happens when even the slightest bit of euthanasia was allowes. And I'll let the video showcase it.

Slippery slope is like the expected outcome nowadays
