        How am I arguing illogical?

        Seriously, explain to me, how can anybody want to create a life that is objectively way at the lower end of quality of life? How can you justify shelling out thousands of euro/dollar/whatever for such a person, while others are left more or less to die?

        Would you ask an alcoholic, whether alcohol is good?

        Or a Christian if Jesus is the son of God?

        Or someone with a Cat in New Zealand whether that’s a good idea?

        Emotional attachment clouds judgment.

          Euthanasia is for people who want to die. Not for murdering babies with special needs.

          You’re hardly qualified to judge that.

          You do not know how that person reached their conclusions. For all you know, it might be an ethical framework you know shit about, or the verification that plenty of human beings will often assume incapacity to live an adequate life rather than a rational analysis of all viable options.

          Emotional attachment clouds judgment.

          All humans are subject to rationalize as the result of their emotions rather than to actually reason. I’m going to go ahead and use your scale of acceptable evidence to judge whether other people are rational or not and assume that you’re irrational because your narcissism prevents you from analyzing the biases you’ll easily assume are clouding anyone else’s judgement.
