Yes in theory, euthanasia should be a thing. The problem is that we live under capitalism, and therefore this will always be abused to kill the poor. It already happened in a few countries that allowed it, I believe Canada is one of them.

The problem is that we think or these options in an ideal world/in isolation but our world is soo far from that... that for this to be debated seriously we have soo much work ahead of us, before we are even close to the state where something like this should remotely be allowed.
