“it is never licit to kill another: even if he should wish it, indeed if he request it, hanging between life and death… nor is it licit even when a sick person is no longer able to live“. St. Augustine , Catholic Church
People could exploit others
Could be used as a way of murder
People could just be having a bad day, week, or month and decide they’re ready to die
The CONS against Euthanasia
It is unnatural
