If I were homeless, I'd like such an option. It's not like there's any hope for the current batch of homeless people with inflation going on.

Truebecause euthanasia is still taboo already, let alone homeless people. you know people would use it as an excuse to claim how the rich are getting rid of poor people
We're already in a dystopia. It's a wonder people seek out chemo when cancer is a blessing during this era.That fits the bill for so many dystopian fictions. Corruption would make it far more dangerous too
Why do they see death as worse than suffering?Because people's morality aren't such that people who are suffering a lot should be allowed to kill themselves. People's morality are such that, even if somebody is suffering intensely, they should stay alive at all costs due to how bad death is. They see death worse than suffering perpetually for a long time and that's why they can't just kill off people. No matter what, they will always see death as the worst outcome that happens to a human being
I wish I knew but I don't have their type of mind so I'm not fully sure. That said, I got a theory. They believe that, no matter how much one suffers (unless if it's a terminal disease), there is always a probability that things will get better for them and hence they argue that they should live for this chance to come. Of course, death ends their life then and there and that makes pro lifers think that they lose out on experiencing the joys of life irrespective of their suffering. Essentially, death is worse than suffering to them because death ends all chances to experience joy whereas somebody who's suffering could still experience joyWhy do they see death as worse than suffering?

I also think that death being unknown and suffering being known plays a part in this too but I'm not sure about that as religious people dominate the pro lifers and they believe that what happens after death is whatever their religion preached
To pro lifers, yes. They tend to folow positive utilitarianism instead of negative utilitarianism. To them, suffering is just used as a means to an end (that end being happiness). No matter how much they suffer, they'll always focus on the little moments of pleasure that they getSo essentially, experiencing joy is seen as being of greater value than alleviating suffering.
That's true. People can't ever understand this subjectivity until they experience it for themselvesSomeone's suffering is also subjective, so it's easier to dismiss it or down play it in significance to wider society.
