I'm curious how someone can simultaneously make the argument that the death penalty is wrong because some innocents will die unjustly and then be in favor of something like this where a small number of people will inevitably be pressured by family or their own psyche into being killed by the state.

It sounds noble in theory, dying with dignity but it has here in Canada rapidly devolved into assisted dying for mentally ill etc being talked about. I used to support it but seeing how its getting misused it not a gate to open in my experience unfortunately.

They are advising our Vets to do it

Yeah kill the old people, kill the mentally disabled, kill the physically disabled....good job the Nazis didn't win WW2.

BUT YEAH ITS ALL ABOUT DIGNITY

BTW maid (Canada death cult) is responsible for 5% of annual deaths and rising. It is not dignified. It is literally being given drugs that paralyse you so you cannot feel the drug that kills you that simulates waterboarding for a period of 30 mins to 24hours.

But yes it is about dignity.

Interesting claims. Care to provide any evidence on the 5% claim, and the '12 hours of waterboarding' claim?

Actually 4.1% in 2022.
