But you see, that is not the reason to grant the wish of euthanasia.
you see, loneliness is fixable, if only people took it seriously and did something so those people stopped being lonely in the first place.
if they got some company they would start feel better on the whole. old age wouldn't bother them so much, they would stop feeling so sick once their overall emotional state improved.
the sad fact is, those lonely seniors are being left alone.
If we were to grant every heartbreaking wish for euthanasia - people would be dying by millions. it can't be like that.
However, IMO what really is despicable, is keeping dying people on life support system for years or keep reanimating very sick,
dying people over and over. most of their organs had failed, they beg to be put out of their misery,
but because the family insist "to do everything to save them" - they continue to live in terrible pain,
with an inevitable outcome sooner or later - death.
Please, please read this amazing memoir
