They seem to distance themself from anything in sarco-pod territory, though.
Not much help when you're "not suffering enough" but can't get what you need. And things are only going to get worse in the near future.

I have issues with the idea of assisted suicide. Killing oneself should be ur right but if u dont have the strength to do it urself then u dont deserve it.

Wait until you have parents or other elderly loved ones that are slowly rotting and wasting away in front of you, unable to do anything to end their own suffering due to being severely incapacitated and then come back with that incredibly short-sighted belief. We give more compassion to the end-of-life of our pets than our elderly.

Apply your logic to the concept of eating. It should be your right, but if you don't have the strength to do it yourself then you don't deserve it. Right?

If there is the right to live, there should be the right to kill yourself
You mean you chose to be born?
I will never forgive my parents for not asking me for my consent
I mean, technically, you are given with a chance to kill yourself every single moment. The reason why you’re alive is because you choose to continue living.
But yeah, I didn’t have the option not to be born. I would’ve probably selected not to if I knew the world is this shitty and fucked. Lol.
