I roughly have the same opinion on this matter as you. I like how well you articulated it.
I’m not sure if we’re right, but I think the conclusion about net negative lives could be rushed, unsubstantiated and dangerous.
And even if some lives are net negative, so what? IMO we should think more carefully whether “slightly net negative = not worth living”.
Some people might have slightly net negative lives, but they never think about suicide or euthanasia.
From what I know about how we humans deal with it, euthanasia is usually used to prevent unbearable suffering with no hope of cure, not to save someone from slightly net negative life.

Thank you for your kind words. I couldn’t agree more with your reasoning.
