    It will eventually be about killing people who are too expensive to treat. Eg, Euthanasia for Mental Health issues or Ehlers-Danlos syndrome.

    It’s already happened with abortion. Unborn babies are labelled “undesirables” and “not human” and can be murdered

            It is a tool to be a “cheaper alternative” to actual healthcare. Abortion is similar. A tool as an alternative to offer affordable housing, education, childcare, etc. these are all framed as “liberation” but it’s just so the billionaires can keep their precious money
