A big fear that drives concern about euthanasia is that we’ll end up in a world where people who don’t really want to die will feel pressured to kill themselves because they don’t want to be a burden on the health system or their loved ones.
Moral arguments like this one are the exact sort of thing that’s stopping euthanasia from being accessible in the cases where it would be clearly good (e.g. end stage terminal cancer causing severe pain)
