yeah ... as assisted suicide becomes more common, that's the slippery slope
To me this indicates that peoples' fears about euthanasia laws opening a slippery slope towards premature death is probably misplaced.
Once it is mainstream, it will be the option of choice. Cheaper than LTC. Just like cremation was once not too common, now over 50% are cremated. You just show up, listen to soft music, and die.
At some point, I can even see clones being grown that are physically unable to function normally and meet the euthanasia criteria. They can be kept alive, and when the time is right, euthanasia happens and organs are harvested and 'sold'.
Maybe the clones look human, maybe not. If I need organs, I will be glad they do it.
