> The state already has plenty of tools to kill those it disagrees with
This is not about people the state disagrees with, but about the undesirable of society.
The risk is we get to legitimize euthanasia as a way of getting rid of the poor and homeless.
I'm absolutely horrified by the direction taken by Canada with regards to this. It is mindblowing and hard to believe for me that 1 in 4 Canadians thinks that assisted suicide should be allowed for the poor[1]. Like, how about getting them out of poverty instead? How about providing every citizen with a dignified life before we consider ways to literally put them out of their misery?
Thankfully there aren't enough doctors willing to go on with what seem like the nazi wet dream[2], but I'm left seriously wondering what's wrong with Canadian society.
