What happens when someone decides the humane decision is sparing the world of you?
The essential point of it has always been that humanity is not equipped to render such a judgment. Legally protecting murder in narrow circumstances will inevitably progress to legally protecting murder in broad circumstances. Early abortion became allowing late abortion; murdering unborn children for medical concerns became murdering unborn children for the convenience of it all; murdering unborn children became murdering viable and crowning children, and now, though I am certain it has happened before, as was said would happen, an infant has been murdered "for cause" but what constitutes cause will not be left narrow. This played out exactly as was said would happen with physician-facilitated suicide: it would not stop with those in palliative care, it would and did expand to the psychologically unwell, and the medical systems of countries such as Canada would and do now recommend it.
A narrow but still arbitrarily qualified definition of whether a life is worth living will not stay narrow, and it hasn't.
