    The Nazis didn’t give those (or many people) a choice; it was forced upon them. This isn’t comparable at all.

      If your choice is no treatment vs suicide, that’s not really a choice, either.

      Also you can’t really give someone a choice in life vs death when their mental state is unstable.

        Treatment is an option. And people are evaluated before being allowed to end their lives this way.

          Ideally. But if that’s the case, why limit it to people with drug addictions? Why limit it to the vulnerable and mentally impaired? Drug addicts aren’t usually terminal patients. What if this was applied but only to overweight people? Or smokers? Or the poor?

            You’re free to ponder those questions, but what California and Canada are doing has nothing to do with the Nazis.

      That’s what cohersion is for.

      The Nazis also gave the Jews a chance leave Germany at first.

        What evidence do you have of coercion or of any addicts being driven out of/told to leave Cali or Canada?
