> You talked right past the actual point being made, to beat a straw man instead
Your corolary, to me sounded like "It's not shocking at all that 5% of all deaths are euthanasia, it's simply the intended/logical outcome".
Maybe I created a straw man.
For me the arguments, narative, claimed outcome, scope, implications and all that for allowing something like euthanasia matter a lot.
I hope we won't push back in horror at this measure like we did with other measures, because at that point the story could easily reach nazi Germany eugenics horror levels
It was my corollary (a simple restatement of the information presented in the article), not the person you addressed, and no, it's not at all shocking that 5% of terminal cases in or facing pallative care, experiencing or about to experience chronic pain, cognitive loss, functional decline and lose of autonomy and dignity choose to knowingly take advantage of legal euthanasia.

Riiiigght. Sure. If you say so.
Better to let humans suffer rather than allow them to make a choice on their own terms. Got it.
