@jabel I agree that opposing euthanasia probably does hang, in the end, on a Christian world view. But most opponents I read on this aren't glorifying the suffering as such; it's that the specter of the (aggregate) alternative is so much worse. If we accept euthanasia on the basis of bodily autonomy + a wish to cut short states of bodily dependence, we tacitly or explicitly frame states of dependence as the abject — unnecessary, inefficient for the state, even incompatible with a good life. I worry that a eugenic logic starts to follow, especially where there's money to be made and a bureaucratic spreadsheet of decisions in front of us.
