> Somehow the fact that the euthanization takes place in your own home gives me the creeps.

If I was about to die I'd much rather die in the comfort of my own home than any other place, a hospital is not a cozy place; a clinic wouldn't be either, it's still a foreign place with nothing of your life or about you around. I'd much rather die in a place I know, that I was part of creating and makes me feel comfortable in it than any other place.

> I can't believe we made suicide a legal depression cure before when there's been so much talk about shrooms/acid and such perhaps being helpful.

This is absurd, you're trying to decide for someone else how they should approach their own suffering, why don't let the sufferer take control? It's not up to you to decide, at all, and it's not a split-second decision, to be euthanised one has to go through consultations with professionals which might not grant it, if a panel of experts decided the person has the right to decide to kill themselves who are you to say otherwise?

What if the panel of experts, therapists, etc. are wrong?

If they are wrong what's your solution? The person wouldn't know, they are way past the "searching for solutions" phase if they were being seen by a panel of experts to decide on euthanasia, if the person doesn't have a medical way to kill themselves they had already decided to take their own life, would you prefer they jump in front of a train? A moving car? Or shot their brains out on the bathroom tiles?

The tricky thing about mental health is that unlike physical ailments it requires the individual to still persevere and try on their own possible solutions, if someone has given up it's extremely hard to change their minds unless you want to forcefully incarcerate them and force them through psychiatric interventions while monitoring for any potential suicide attempts. Is that what liberty and freedom looks like to you?

Doctors have been wrong and will continue to be wrong all the time, they try their best to the current knowledge, if a whole panel is wrong we can only hope that in the future they will improve, the person's suffering was real to all involved at the time and the decision was taken.

And just to conclude on the same vein of your argument: what if the panel of experts isn't wrong and you are denying people suffering from at least taking their own decisions on how they would like to end their life? Do you prefer that world?
