So in recent past arguments or debates over euthanasia people always ask me, "what if someone decides to pull the plug that could have made it through? Then it doesn't work, right?" Well my obvious answer to you is, if you pull the plug, then it's your plug to pull. But to brin telling g it to a more debatable and relatable topic, lets talk about the death penalty. That same dumb argument that if you execute one innocent man, then the system is broken. Well my response to you is this.... that's pretty stupid! So wait a second, you're me, if out of every 100 people that are executed, 99 of them are guilty, then the system is broken? That makes no sense. That seems like a pretty good statistic if you ask me... or Las Vegas. Name one thing in this world that is 100%? Thinking...thinking...thinking.... Okay you have nothing.
So bringing the point home, if one person decides they can't win their fight with whatever cancer they may have, and they are wrong, then so be it. The question is, if euthanasia is legal, then where is the line? What ground rules do you lay? This is pretty simple. You choose. Your life, your plug. If you're wrong you have no one to blame.
Then we can come to the question of how you determine when you're right and wrong? You don't. Thats silly. Just be a grown up, make a choice, and live...or die... by that choice. We make these choices every day of our lives. There's a risk vs. reward for everything you do. Remember that when you tell that dying woman who's been coughing up blood for the past week that, "sorry, not yet. Keep truckin along here."
"On a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero."
