Comment on How come if my dog is sick and I take him to get put out of his misery its ok? On a human its not? How come human laws don't apply to animals? I think of our dog as family and he's one of us?

  Another answer OP is looking for and probably doesn’t want to hear: most people value human life more than non-human life.

  Bad example. In the US it’s super cool to deny care for dollars. Illness and death are built into the system from for profit hospitals to health isurance and pharma pricing.

    Killing people is not the same as letting them die of natural causes.

      Capitalist exploitation is a natural cause? That’s a wild take.

      Next time, try it without the “Appeal to Nature” / Naturalistic Fallacy.

      And for everything that is not an ER visit, go and die somewhere out of sight.

    Hospitals want to drain your estate of every dime while insurance companies want you to die as soon and as cheaply as possible. It’s a beautiful balance.

  Countries that have assisted dying do not make it “easy”. Especially when someone isn’t physically ill, they throw every type of therapy and help at them to persuade them not to kill themselves.

    Didn’t say they did. Just “easier”
