In reply to the discussion: Dad confesses to murdering family on Facebook to save daughter from migraines [View all]Springslips
(533 posts)87. Actually the OP and the murderer shares the philosophy...
Not understood by the OP but he actually share thinking with the murderer. For he and the murderer want to be the judge on whether someone elses life is worth living or not, instead of the person living that life.
The murderer decides his daughter's life is not worth living through the pain so kills her, not caring if the daughter wants to live it.
The OP want to decided that someone life is worth living through the pain, not caring if the individual doesn't want to live it.
It's the same control freakness. It just inside out of each other, but not opposite.
We are for individual choice, the murderer and OP are for forcing their belief on people.
The OP argument boomeranges on himself.

It seems the OP considers physician assisted suicide a type or mental illness.

Why would he pick anything as his Excuse? Because it was an excuse to murder.

Could you dip any lower into the bowels of depravity? What an atrocious exploitative use of this...

This is in no way any way comparable to "physician-assisted suicide". It is murder and

That's an indictment of US healthcare, but it's got nothing to do with PAS.

Death with Dignity neither devalues disability nor has anything to do with disability

This has NOTHING to do with being allowed to die with dignity, and it's pretty damned
