That is too dangerous. If it sounds like I'm asking people who want to die to endure more suffering in order to ensure eugenics becomes relegated to the trash heap of history, it's because I am. I would rather let cancer patients wither away under painkillers than allow the state to use the forces of institutional bigotry to cleanse its undesirables, let alone overt extermination. In the United States, we would look back 20 years from now asking questions about why black people make up 75% of the medical suicides in Mississippi—or gypsies in the UK, or First Nations in Canada, or gays anywhere, or Jews everywhere—and I absolutely believe that no benefit will ever outweigh that, not ever, not even to heat death.
It's as simple as forbidding medical experts from recommending the procedure. Patients can request it on their own accord.
People are forbinned from trading stocks with insider knowledge, too. Tell me exactly what constitutes a recommendation, and I can find you a way to completely flout the rule while obeying the letter of it. I'll always be able to, you can't win that arms race.
What exactly is the motivation to kill people by assisted suicide from the individual doctor? People can do illegal things, you're right. What is the point of any law with your mentality?
That's a sophistical argument, I think I've made it abundantly clear that the point is potential for abuse, especially passed down from on high such as in the Welles Fargo scandal.
