I assume everyone is correct with their justification about microplastic fears. Every once in a while I wonder how much better everyones health would be if society greatly restricted automobiles and public transport including the structure of where everyone lives was being better engineered to handle multiple trains stopping periodically at walking distance of businesses and homes.

I wrote for persons that are in a way innocent, as they had no choice but are guilty if they really did commit the crime worthy of the punishment. I'll confirm here for you that I think even an innocent person should be given a way out by euthanasia if they're living such a nightmare of being stuck in prison for a life sentence while truly innocent by not committing the accused crime(s). We definitely as a society should allow persons that were fated with such a cruel twist in life the ability to fight for retrials for examining how they truly are innocent even while the first verdict claims otherwise. I'm not assuming but just writing my thoughts for a better world than the one I observe in this life.

The reason it isn't such a "major head fuckery" for me personally, is because I don't believe in free will and I think everything is predetermined. So, someone that has an "ill mindset" where they commit a crime worthy of being forever isolated from the general public, is in the sense very ill psychologically and comparable to someone suffering from a mental illness. The psychological pain that someone will suffer from forever by the isolation result because of their ill mindset that made them isolated should allow euthanasia like other countries allow someone with a psychological illness with intolerable suffering the choice to escape the intolerable pain. Anyway to me that's a kinder world than being stuck in pain until death and when it wasn't their choice to develop an ill mindset; similar to all other people with illnesses that are privileged to be able to decide for themselves if euthanasia is the right thing for them personally. Committing suicide without medical help can be terrifying and statistically more favourable to fail where brain damage could likely prevent further attempts.

That's the most ridiculous response I didn't expect to read towards my comment. Of course, all precautions should be similar to the existing process of having euthanasia. No coercion or manipulation present while the decision comes from the person, and a doctor or nurse trained in euthanasia would be doing the evaluation(s) of the person requesting it. Currently, people are receiving euthanasia for intolerable medical conditions and without anyone finding slippery slope imaginary scenarios that people write as fears.

I seriously think the ability to end one's life "if sentenced to life in prison" is the ethical, humane, and moral thing to allow for everyone. We're starting to allow euthanasia for intolerable suffering from medical conditions. Well, I assert that people being isolated from society for a severe crime because of their "ill mindset" is identical to severe illnesses and where they may suffer intolerable psychological pain from the isolation of a life sentence. I seriously see no downsides to allowing euthanasia as a choice for persons with life sentences. Only thing it possibly takes away is a feeling of vengeance the victims may have and if they personally dislike the idea of a person that harmed them being able to die early.
