It’s bizarre I don’t understand they have the same God as the Christians and they can’t wait to die, if they cause your death they convinced themselves that they did you a favor because you got to Jesus sooner.

They worship the same god as the Catholics, why don’t the Catholics want people to go to Jesus? Isn’t it supposed to be the promised land?

You seem to miss the part where they are already dying, and the writing is on the wall.

But you’re right, let’s force them and their families to continue to needlessly suffer for absolutely nothing.

Nobody’s forcing you to euthanize yourself.

If you don’t want a euthanasia, don’t get a euthanasia.

Look, I've been through similar circumstances. I would've never wished for that person to feel it necessary to kill themselves to avoid any burden of mine or somebody else's. As soon as that pressure exists, it can't be ethical suicide.

And, unless every case of medical suicide is undergone by a person 100% able to consent to such, legalizing this process amounts to state sponsored murder.

This criticism is strong and well-reasoned. One exception: New Ireland was a thing. (It was dumb in real life, too.)

Fun fact: Nova Scotia is so called because it reminded the British of old Scotland. They didn't know about plate tectonics, but science would later confirm that the Scotia had once been contiguous, back before they drifted apart.

Vermont was never recognized as an independent country by both the UK, the 13 colonies, or any world power. You can’t be an independent nation if no one recognizes you as such. They claimed to be independent but were never recognized as independent and ended up asking to join the union.
