    because of WW2 and the experiences made there.

    if euthanasia was legal, it would be immediately used against some kind of disadvantaged group, which is why it’s kept forbidden.

        And there are already some controversy around disadvantaged groups getting suggested applying for euthanasia, some even going through it.

          In my country euthanasia has to be required by the person wanting to ending. Nor the government nor any other person or organization can ask for this procedure to be done to an unwilling person.

          The person has to require twice, and be evaluated by a comitee of medical doctors to ensure that it has a chronic disease that could not be cured and that it’s causing ongoing pain that would not get better with medication.

          Statistics on it doesn’t point to it being “targeted to anyone”. More so, there are many people who ask for it and cannot get it in time and die of natural causes before the procedure could be done.
