I stopped considering your wall of text when you claimed that old people using medically assisted dying to relieve their terminal illness was an “extreme case”.
That’s just an extremist take. Legal euthenasia was implemented and is used in the overwhelming majority for these exact cases. You have a moral issue with it (as you’ve pointed out) and take issue with me calling it Christian. Your morals against euthenasia (calling it both “suicide” and “violence”) just shows your bias.
You are correct. There is no room for a nuanced discussion when you come at it with such an extreme take. Take care.
You completely misunderstood. I didn't call it "extreme" to say that grandma should be allowed euthanasia. What I said is that that's an extreme example, as in, a case where extreme circumstances make euthanasia a reasonable option.
Before I used the word "extreme" I literally said, "Of course, 'grandma' in your example should be allowed to die peacefully." In fact, I even called the idea that she shouldn't be able to, "an extreme position." At that point, I can only assume it's a willful misinterpretation to dismiss criticism. There is nothing "extreme" about my position that euthanasia should be legal but only in special circumstances, it's literally the moderate position on the issue.
