An option for fast and painless euthanasia should be something every human has a right to and considered on par with access to birth control.
You can disagree all you like, just how you may disagree with birth control, and that's allowed. You are allowed to have your own opinions.
Your opinions are not fact however, so while you may think birth control is the work of the devil and should be banned and never spoken of again, this does not mean that you are right.
I have no problem with euthanasia being a human right, as long as there is some legal framework around it to prevent bad things from happening. I have a couple of scenarios in my mind where I would probably use it. Also, if you decide rationally outside of depression that it is time for you to choose it, I respect that.
My only issue was the whole, and I am paraphrasing here, "Autism dooms you to a life of suffering and there is nothing you can do about it".
It's been a day and I'm too tired for more words right now. I hope these memes can somewhat accurately portray what I'm trying to say instead.
Sorry, they do not. The vibes are sad (as a feeling, not an insult) though.
