  1.  @adam7802  Burden of proof is on you since you made the claim and you just admitted that you don't actually know. Dunno how you've concluded what I think I know, since I've basically just asked two simple questions.

  2. It's been legal in Switzerland for a long time and they don't suffer the abuses you claim.

  3. ​ @bwilliamson3887 So you think it's better to force someone to live out their days in a drug-enforced stupor, in addition to dealing with their condition, rather than being allowed to choose their own end with dignity?

  4.  @jackspring7709  What means are they using to pressure people?

  5. Its not murder because the patient has to choose it.

  6. How does your figure support your claim? Switzerland has had legal euthanasia for a long time and hasn't had significant issues.

  7. Mental decay doesn't mean what you think it means. Are you sure you know what you're talking about?

  8.  @i_C-Sense  Research what? Switzerland has had legal euthanasia for a long time, its absolutely fine and hasn't lead to all these nightmare scenarios that, like you, people are fearmongering about.

  9.  @i_C-Sense  Everything you just said is nonsense, rounded off with an ad hominem.
    2
  10.  @i_C-Sense  Do you know what ad hominem means? And you claim you're rarely wrong? You don't even understand the words you're using.
    2
  11.  @i_C-Sense  Apologise for what? You're effectively just stuffing your fingers in your ears at this point.
    2
  12.  @i_C-Sense  Appeal to popularity is another logical fallacy, you wanna try an appeal to authority and go for the triple? And no, you made a claim. You provided only speculative opinion as reason which doesn't give your claim any substance. When I gave the softest of pushback by pointing out a country that has this law and hasn't seen the outcomes you claimed, you just dismissed it.

  13. Do you mean that people might take their own lives because they're in debt? That already happens so I'm not sure what point you think you're making.

  14. ​ @jemgeach4066 Doesn't sound like you have.
    2
  15.  @adam7802  And you're definitely not dodging, just to be clear? You're not giving up and running away the second someone pushed you to back up your claims? Nah, you've definitely got integrity. Read your anti-immigration rants, quite funny that they're wholly based on your emotion and not logic...

  16. It's a secular country, not a Christian country. Deal with it.

  17. It's the person in pain who gets to make the choice, which negates what you've said.

  18. You gotta stop citing works of fiction as evidence of your mad beliefs.

  19. ​ @Jen-lg4hp Its a film, chap. Its not real.

  20.  @richardbradbury3658  If you're a paranoid loon, sure.

  21. You're citing ancient fairy tales as a reason but claiming others are too stupid to decide?

  22.  @annamoon7222  And you think that proves what?

  23. ​ @annamoon7222 Yes, you're definitely making that clear...

  24. I'll take "phrases no-one has ever said before" please.

  25. ​ @GeordiePat1 You lose all credibility when you start bringing religion into this.

  26.  @danielrobertson8774  Door-to-door sales are heavily regulated but not, in fact, banned. This isn't actually relevant to legalised euthanasia but does suggest you're maybe not all that up on the facts... The point is that legalising it means that it is an OPTION that people who meet the criteria would be able to discuss with a medical professional. It's not even remotely comparable to door-to-door sales.

  27.  @i_C-Sense  An ad hominem is an attack on an individual's characteristics that is irrelevant to the matter. Saying that you are fearmongering over this topic by making unsubstantiated claims is directly relevant and is not an attack on your characteristics, its a criticism of your speech. It's not an ad hominem
    1
  28.  @i_C-Sense  No, you've wholly misunderstood the concept. What you're doing is an ad hominem. You're making assumptions about me as a person that aren't based on anything relevant to the topic and using those assumptions to dismiss my argument. Meanwhile, you're making claims about the dangers of legal euthanasia that are unfounded, they have no basis in fact. This is referred to as "fearmongering" and you are engaging in it. That's an observable fact and relates directly to the topic, so it's not an ad hominem.

  29.  @i_C-Sense  Just gave you the textbook definition chap. You can accept it or be in denial.

  30.  @i_C-Sense  You haven't provided any reasoning. Nothing rational, at any rate.

  31.  @i_C-Sense  Why would it be different? Are you suggesting that British people are inherently less moral and ethical than the Swiss? If yes, why is it suddenly okay if Brits travel to Switzerland? If no, why is it different?

  32. ​ @i_C-Sense Any misinterpretation is on your part and your inability to understand the basic terms you're using.

  33. Yeah but you seem to be wrong about everything.

  34. ... what?
    1
  35. Such as?
    1
  36.  @adam7802  You haven't said how.
    1
  37. ​ @adam7802 I don't need to give an answer, I didn't make the claim. And like I said, you can't substantiate it even a little bit. Throwing ad hominem attacks just makes that even clearer.
    1
  38.  @adam7802  You even got a classic saying wrong.
    1
  39.  @adam7802  Riiight. You sure you know what that means too?
    1
  40.  @adam7802  Whereas you just make empty claims and then act like a child when asked to back them up. Which is why your insults are weaker than wet bog roll.

  41.  @Ade-y7l  Yeah, that's great if you like to believe fantasy but it's not a sound understanding of reality.

  42. Acceptable to who?

  43. No-one has said that, what planet are you on?

  44. That's nonsense.

  45. "Trust me, bro."

  46. What a load of nonsense you've posted.

  47. That's pretty racist, chap.

  48.  @caravanstuff2827  There's no truth to their statement, just prejudice.

  49. Some European countries have been doing this for a long time and its absolutely fine.

  50. ​ @Jen-lg4hp No, best to leave it to individual choice.
