Excerpt:
The doctor who performed the Netherlands’ first case of euthanasia on a child under 12 did so with due care, the supervising committee concluded after investigating. The patient, a child of nearly 2 years who suffered from several severe medical conditions, died at the end of 2025.
Would it make it easier for you to answer if I said eight billion? What would you do? One person on one set of tracks, the entire rest of the population of Earth on the other. Do you pull the lever then?
Nope
Which is why I brought up the Trolley Problem in the first place. Saying that there’s no scenario in which euthanasia can be considered is just like refusal to pull the lever in that neither decision is motivated by a desire to do good or be helpful, but only by a motivation to preserve one’s own moral standing and nothing else.
Never said anything about the article or whether it is justified.
I like your moral absolutism, though. Very utilitarian. Good way to run society too, just need to uh, “euthanize” the undesirables.
What society? The Earth just got wiped out. Except for two people.
